Re: Clustered printing issue

Both of the new servers in the cluster are 2003 R2 SP1. It is really odd.
When you open up one of the print Queues and then choose its properties to
look at its port settings and configuration it says the driver is not
installed et etc. This happens no matter how many time you re-install the
printer. And it will not even spool anything. Just instantly errors out
that it could not print. I am a little baffled at this point.

Hi Jeff,

If SP1 for Windows Server 2003 was not installed, then it should be.
Because the following fix was included that may resolve your issue:

891721 You receive a "Printer Driver was not installed" error message when
you try to remotely install the first printer on a Windows Server 2003-based
domain controller

Hope this helps,

Background: we presently have a 2 node Windows 2000 cluster. I have
backed
up the print config with the print migrator tool version 3 per its
instructions. All printers are installed in a virtual server within the
cluster. We are planning on migrating all data and printers to a new 2
node
2003 cluster.

I then imported that printer config file into a new virtual server within
my
new 2003 cluster. Not all printers migrated due to some out of date
drivers
and 3rd party port monitors. We have since determined most of those are
dead
printers anyhow.

The issue is that the printers that did import cleanly will not print and
when you try to bring up properites of one it always says that drivers are
not installed and would you like to instll them now for increased
functionality. Why is this happening?
