Server 2008 R2 - Unable to install any printer drivers
- by toffitomek
My problem is exactly this same as described here:
Server 2008 R2 - Unable to install any printer drivers Options - google groups
I have few Windows 2008 R2 (no SP1) servers in remote offices, mostly in Domain Controller, and many of them have problems installing ANY printer drivers.
following errors show up in Event Log when adding printer driver under Print and Document Services/Print Management/Print Services/ /Drivers OR trying any other way to install drivers:
EventID 215:
Installing printer driver - failed, error code 0x57, HRESULT 0x80070057. See the event user data for context information.
EventID 215:
Installing printer driver Canon iR C2380/2550 PCL6 failed, error code 0x0, HRESULT 0x80070057. See the event user data for context information.
EventID 215:
Installing printer driver Canon iR C2380/2550 PCL6 failed, error code 0x490, HRESULT 0x80070057. See the event user data for context information.
in this particular server case this is problem with Canon iRC 2380i printer with Canon Generic PCL6 Driver, but it seems to apply to any driver and any printer (tried different drivers, different versions, PCL, postscript, etc)
I'm using 64 bit drivers that should be working on this platform.
Any help will be appreciated.
