Hello, We are moving all are clients over to W7 x64. Everything is working fine, except for adding printers. Our print server's are Win 2003 x86. When attempting to add a printer to a computer I get the following error 'No Driver Found' "Windows can't find a driver for HP Universal Printing PCL 6 on the network. To locate one manually, click OK. Otherwise Cancel and consult your network administrator or the printer manufacturer's website" What I have tried - I in stalled to UPD from HP, re added the printer and shared it using the HP UPD. Went over to a W7x64 client attempted to add a printer from a network or directory - It runs through the process, and shoots back with the error above. If you need me to gather any other information please let me know. Thanks in advance. Justin.

OK thanks for the information - I will give this a try tomorrow. Thanks again! Now can I do this with a UPD so I dont have to install for every printer? Thanks Justin

Justin, We were in the same boat as you with rolling out W7 x64 on x86 domain controllers and print servers. The printing was a "last minute thought". I was able to do all the work from the print server itself (Windows 2003 R2 SP2). Make sure you upgrade your 2003 print server to R2 print services if it's not already. Click Start, Manage your server, yada, yada, yada... Anyway, we are full of HP and Toshiba printers and we are NOT using any Universal Print Drivers for HP or Toshiba printers - we had too many problems with tray and paper settings always changing. We are using the XP 64-bit drivers for all the printers. I first made sure the 32-bit drivers were updated, then downloaded the 64-bit driver (of the same version - PCL6) and then added it from the Sharing tab - click the "Add additional Drivers button", then click the x64 tick box and then navigate the where you unzipped the driver files. One additional issue we had was with the Windows 7 machines print spooler always locking up. We followed this link http://www.sadikhov.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=179626 with adding the reg entry to all users via group policy preference [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers] "EnabledProtocols"=dword:00000006 So far, we haven't had any issues since (/knocks on wood.) Hope some of that helps. Mike

Momilian - Thanks for the information, the only issue is our print servers are 2k3 sp2 - We did not move over to SP3 - Sadly.
