1232370	2011-09-21 05:49:00	Have you tried just adding any other printer driver to see if it a driver issue or the SBS2008 itself?	CYaBro (73)
1232371	2011-09-21 21:47:00	Have you tried just adding any other printer driver to see if it a driver issue or the SBS2008 itself? I hadn't tried installing any other printer - should have done this actually. Rebooted the server last night, tried the installation again this morning and it worked normally! :xmouth: Damn thing... Wainui's train of thought about a process perhaps interfering with the driver installation sounds about the most likely, but I guess what we can get out of this is if anyone has this problem, reboot the server and try the re-installation reasonably soon after it's booted up! :badpc: Thanks everyone for your suggestions regarding this, especially Wainui for the amount of time you put into testing and researching the issue. Cheers! :cool:	wratterus (105)

Just a thought -- This is a wild guess, and thats all it is. "Possible" reason, is if a update or something had happened , Maybe the server had to be rebooted before any other installs could happen. I have had this countless times with XP, Vista that certain updates wouldn't go in until the PC had been rebooted, then the remainder install -- Just a guess -- Spose we'll never know. :2cents:	wainuitech (129)
