skoch Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 ello everyone! I hope you can help me. I have the following problem: My LaserJet 3200 is connected to the server (WinServer 2008 x64) via USB. I need to share this Printer to all clients in the network which all have XP32-Bit Prof. So I shared it to all users[/url]. On the server the printer role is already installed as well as AD and Hyper-V. When I try to install additional drivers for the Clients the server give me two errors: "Unable to install HP Universal Printing PCL 5, Type 3 - User Mode, x86 driver. Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000002)" and "Failed to add driver. Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000578)" google doesnt help and a solution is yet nowhere to be found I already read an older article on this forum - it's written to diable UAC - but the problem persists. Do you have any advice for me Most Kind Regards -Stefan Quote
Forum² Admin F2 Staff Posted March 9, 2009 Forum² Admin Posted March 9, 2009 Make sure the x86 drivers are available on the network. What is happening is the printer is trying to hand out x64 drivers only. Quote
skoch Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 Hello Everyone! Hello BSchwarz! I got it working now, and you are right! For everyone having the same problem as me, here's a short comprehension of what to do: What I did: -copy the HP-Files from a x86 Vista (\\VISTA\c$\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\prnhp001) to the server 2008 x64 machine -open the printmanagement.msc -open the drivers section -add the x86 driver pointing to the files copied from the vista x86 machine -add printer on XP 32-Bit via Ip-Adress and there it is! Kind Regards -Stefan Quote
