So we've had some trouble with long logon times, and with group policies to deploy printers, and I am thinking now that these issues are due to problems with the automatic update of client drivers from the print server. Our print server is a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine, and our clients are mostly Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit.
Only Windows XP clients the drivers appear to update correctly, but in Windows 7, we are having the following errors appear in the event log:
Source: PrintService Event ID: 600
The print spooler failed to import the printer driver that was downloaded from \\s-04\print$\W32X86\PCC\oemsetup.inf_x86_neutral_5a4bc3262f3adde7.cab into the driver store for driver Kyocera FS-C5350DN KX. Error code= 800f0242. This can occur if there is a problem with the driver or the digital signature of the driver.
Followed immediately by:
Source: PrintService Event ID: 601
The print spooler failed to download and import the printer driver from \\s-04 into the driver store for driver Kyocera FS-C5350DN KX. Error code= 800f0242.
I am using the latest drivers from Kyocera, but this has not helped. No other brands appear to have this issue. The printers still somehow manage to install and work, mostly, but they appear to take much longer to do so, and when the drivers are updated from the server this does not appear to be pushed out to the client as it is supposed to be. I haven't been able to find anything on these errors, and don't really know where to begin troubleshooting.
