I am experiencing the following problem with windows small business server 2003.
There is a photocopier/printer (Lanier 5025) attached to the network through a print server (Axis). It is shared from the server and installed using a windows 2000 driver.
Am trying to add a driver for windows 98 to the server. I have two different versions of the 98 driver that both work if installed directly onto a 98 workstation.
What happens is this. I click on the ‘additional drivers…’ button on the sharing tab of the printer properties. Then I check the box for ‘Intel, Windows 95/98/Me’ and click OK. A ‘please provide a printer driver’ box is displayed. I browse to the location of the driver and select the appropriate INF file. Then ANOTHER ‘please provide a printer driver’ box is displayed, so I must once again browse and select the INF file. After this the ‘select device’ box is displayed. The name of the printer is highlighted, so I click OK. The screen returns immediately to the printer properties box. The driver is not installed. When I click on ‘additional drivers…’ again the check box next to ‘intel, 98’ is not ticked. I know that the procedure I am following is correct. I have tried with both drivers (one is the Lanier driver, the other is a compatible Ricoh driver) with identical results.
Any ideas on this will be extremely welcome.
