Hi all,
I'm migrating from Server 2003 to a new server running 2008 R2. I've recreated all of my printers and shared them, and installed both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers. I'm able to install these printers on the client, and the users can print. However when i look at the properties of the installed printers on the client PC's none of the available profile's in the Profile's tab are there. It's completely blank. Also the Default Printer settings i specified on the server (one of which is a profile choice) are not being enforced, and another option of our Printers (Canon iRC2380i's) is that users print to mailboxes. None of these are available also to choose from, meaning the users are unable to print to their own mailbox.
If i install the drivers on my own client PC, where i have Admin rights on the PC, they install just fine, and all of the options are available. This is also true of my backup server, i can install the drivers on this just fine and get all of the options i require on the Printer Properties pages. But on ordinary users PCs they simply don't appear in the Printer Properties (users don't have Admin rights on PC's, but prior to using Server 2008 R2 i didn't have this problem).
I've even tried importing the printers from file from the old server to the new one, but this made no difference - the problem still remains.
Anyone any clue on this? Thanks all.
