We have an office with about 10 members and 4 printers. All of the printers are network printers with their own IP adress. All the users are part of the smae group in Active Diretory. The AD is running on a Windows Server 2008 (not R2). All the client machines are part of the same domain.

At the moment I go to every PC and install the printer drivers manually. Which options do i have to do this on the central server and how?

Thanks!Alex

Installing A Network Printer On Windows 7

Microsoft has written a comprehensive Step-by-step guide to setting up print services in a domain:
Technet: Print Management Step-by-Step Guide

In short:

• Install the Print Services Role on the server you intend to use as a print server
• Install the Print Management Feature component on any machine you'd like to manage print service from
• Add your network printers to the print servers
• Configure printer mappings using Group Policy preferences
• Have fun printing away!

The Print Services role can coexist with AD DS, no problem, but I strongly suggest that you dedicate another server to network application services like Print, File and DHCP Services etc. and keep the Domain Controller 'clean' of other roles.

Hello Experts

Active Directory

I am trying to add a KONICA MINOLTA 5650EN printer on the Windows Server R2. I have installed 64bit drivers, tested the printer and it prints ok from the server. Now, I went to one of the XP machine on the same domain, I can find the shared printer from this machine from the find printer wizard using an IP address ex: 12.12.12.1printername but its giving me an error
'the server for the 'konica minolta pp5650' printer does not have the correct printer driver installed'
I am unable to do the following

1) install x84 drivers on the server using 'install additional driver' option

2) install the x84 drivers manually on the client computer by browsing the driver
Please can someone advise if the above makes any sense?
Thanks
