Hi,
I have just set up a Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition Server. I want to use this server as a File and Print Server. I have installed the File Server and Print Server roles on the server.
I have installed a network printer HP LaserJet 4250 on the print server (the Windows Server 2012 server) and shared this printer.
I'm testing this printer sharing on a Windows XP SP3 client. When I connect the shared the printer, the printer gets installed on the XP system but I'm not able to use this printer. When I click the properties of the connected printer (on the XP system), it throws the below error:
"The Microsoft enhanced point and print compatibility driver is not installed in the system."
I tries few things to resolve the issue. I first loaded the X86 drivers of the printer for 32 bit system on the print server hoping that the XP system will download these drivers from the print server but that did not happen. I observed that the "Additional Drivers" tab in printer sharing on the print server is grayed out.
I'm not able to use the shared printer on Windows Server 2012 on Windows XP SP3 system.
Can someone please help me here?
