Windows Seven Print Drivers
I've had this problem with every Windows 7 machine we have rolled out and was wondering if anybody else was experiencing the same issues.
Even though I have disabled the auto install drivers feature, 7 instists on installing, not one but two of the exact same drivers for every printer connected locally. Sooo, everytime it goes to print the drivers are combating and behold, it will not print.
I have uninstalled the driver package through the MMC. I have unplugged, plugged, uninstalled, rebooted, kicked, screamed, pulled my hair out, done everything I can think of to stop those damn drivers, but to no avail!
This has now happened on three windows 7 enterprise x64 machine. All the printers were HP. If anyone has any suggestions please share!!
Thanks

Your described behaviour is very strange and not normal. Can you please
elaborate a little bit more thoroughly your specific setup (e.g.: how
your local printers are connected, if you change the place where you
plugin the printer cable into the PC or do you always use the same
socket, which specific printers you install and try to print to, what
print drivers you install for which printers, if you have some
additional print software installed like hardware specific print
control programs, etc.)
If you don't give more information nobody can really help you.
