Hi Ben,
Thanks for using SBS newsgroup! Also thanks for Les's input.
For your description, I understand that you want to if the XP SP2 can not
be assigned to client computers when you apply SBS 2003 SP1. If I am off
base, please let me know.
Yes, as Les said, the XP sp2 will be pushed to client computer if you have
run Assign applications to client computers wizard to assign applications
to client computers. After you applied the whole SBS SP1 on the server box,
the XP SP2 installation will be pushed to client computers and you can not
choose un-assign the services packs.
What is your slow printing issue on the XP sp2 computers? Could you tell me
your accurate issue? I am happy to work with you to resolve it
I have done some research regarding to the slow printing issue, and list
some general suggestions to the issue. I hope it useful to you!
Suggestion 1:
=====================
This issue may be caused by some old printer drivers, because they are
incompatible with SP2. Therefore, please delete the printer and then
download the latest drivers of your printer, and then install the new
version driver for a test.
Suggestion 2:
=====================
If this issue still exists, please refer to the following method to
uninstall the current printer driver and software (if there is) completely,
then download and install the latest version from the printer manufacturer
again.
To clean the printer subsystem completely:
------------------------------------------------
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that
may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor
can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
Using this method will remove all of the printer drivers installed on the
system. You need to install the latest printer driver in order for the
printer to work.
1. Log into the system as an administrator, click Start >> Run, input
regedit and click OK to run regedit.exe.
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print, click
Registry->Export Registry File on the menu, and export the current key to a
REG file for backup. (Note: You may double click on the REG file in
Windows Explorer to restore the original settings)
3. Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environment\Window
s NT x86\Drivers, and then remove both the Version-2 and/or Version-3 keys.
4. Remove ALL SUB KEYS under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers. (Note:
DO NOT REMOVE THE PRINTERS KEY.)
5. Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environment\Window
s NT x86\PrintProcessors, delete any processor that is not the following:
winprint
6. Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Providers, delete
any provider that is not one of the following:
Internet Print Provider
LanMan Print Services
7. Refer to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors],
delete any monitor that is not one of the following:
BJ Language Monitor
Local Port
PJL Language Monitor
Standard TCP/IP Port
USB Monitor
Windows NT Fax Monitor
AppleTalk Printing Devices
LPR Port
8. Exit the registry editor.
9. Remove all files from the following directories:
%windir%\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\2
and/or
%windir%\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3
10. Reboot and install the latest printer driver.
=====================
If this issue persists, please let me know the printers' brands and models.
