Server 2008 R2, print services role, clients: Win7
I came across a weird problem yesterday. I added a new printer on our print server, when I chose the driver I used the same HP Universal PCL5 driver that all the other shared printers have (I only use the Universal driver for all HP printers). Most of our printers only consist of HP 4000, 4100, 4250, and 4015 (18 printers in all on the server). Once that new printer driver was added, finished the add printer wizard, thenhalf of the printers in the print control panel now displayed "HP Color LaserJet CM2320 MFP Series" and the printer icon of those changed to this color printer. The other half of the printers are displaying the way they did before "HP Universal Printing PCL 5." When I go to the properties of the printers themselves, under the driver tab, they still show they are using the Universal driver (which is good). So the only changes that got pushed out to the workstations is the icon change and the model. In the Print Server Properties > Drivers tab > I dont see any drivers that match the Color laserjet. A reboot of the server did not yield any changes.
Have you seen anything like this before? This sounds like something Microsoft would have a hotfix for.
