Hi nmX.Memnoch, When you have an auto created network printer on your desktop you never had to add any driver as the driver is comming from your print server, so it's exactly the same thing with a network printer install on TSE server, don't you think ? Notice : Windows 2000/2003/XP don't have the driver by default. I made some test and I am quit lost. I still can print even if I do not install the driver so what the step 3 stand for ? Thanks

Hi, I’ve got an article that describes the entire step to install network printer on TSE server. I am wondering if you can comment the reason of one particular step. So I have a TSE server (Win 2000) and a printer server (Win 2003) 1: from the TSE server go on Run and open the printer server 2: double click on the shared printers you want to install 3: Get back on the TSE “Printers and Faxes” from the “Server Properties” go on the “drivers” tab and “Add” the printer driver 4: Now use the driver for the auto created printer I have done all the steps and made some research about all of this but I am still wondering why do I have to install the driver on the TSE server? thanks

Hello, thanks Cluberti for your comment. You’re right about the issue. Do you think that a “vbs” script can fit the needed? I don't know how (I never done that before), but if I can post one script (a starting template) are you agree to tell me if it' a good start? Thanks

Hello everyone, I am coming to you as I am lost on this. I looked and read a lot of stuff about my problem but I never found anything that could solve my problem. I have several print servers (Win 2003) with a large amount of printer queue. I am trying to find a way to change some printers from working with a PCL5 driver and want them to work the new driver PCL6 that I received. The Windows resource kit tools, the Take Command-line Control over WMI did not worked on this and I am a really newbie on programming, so I hope you will be able to easily help me. Let’s say : When you have 10 network printers and want to upgrade the driver from PS (Postscript) version 1.0 to PS 2.0, its easy doing it, if to upgrade one printer, all printers will automatically be updated by the system. Now you want to do the same thing from PCL5 to PCL6, this automatic upgrade won’t work as PCL6 is more a new way of standard than an update. So if you have 100 printer queues you will have to do it one by one manually. I hope you will be able to help me and bring me back on the right side of the force. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello everyone, I have just discovered this forum. I am pretty good using Windows server printers and Windows ressource kit tools but I can be in trouble some times. I decided to register because you all seems pretty good too, and better than me for everything else. I look forward to learning from this forum and maybe contribute to it, and I am sure you all will be able to help when I am in trouble. I'm from France. Weather bad right now, but it will be better for the week-end... finger crossed. Thanks.
