Hi all,
I have a scenario that I think I can explain and I also believe that I know the solution – I just need someone to confirm it :)
Got the message from an admin that all queues on his server where in the state “Driver Update Needed” and no one could print.
The setup is that we have a print cluster where all queues are shared on and then this one server where all shared queues are installed under a specific user. This is like a standard users PC – just on a server instead. Both the cluster and the stand-alone server are running Windows Server 2008 SP2.
I believe that this happens as no one is logged on at the server opening any documents to print thus not forcing an update of the driver from the print server.
The solution should be to edit the GPO:User configuration » Administrative Templates » Control Panel » Printers » Point and Print Restrictions so it is Enabled.
Is this true? Or am I missing some details/points?
Thanks for your help :)
