TS 2000 stuck in Install mode?

[Guest Mike]

I recently tried to install printer software on a Win2k Terminal Server.

At the end, it asked to reboot, which I did & it looks like the install

hasn't finished, as I get a message about it needing to be in install mode

when it boots up.

How can I fix this?

Thanks-

I'd uninstall the printer software completely.

Chances are, the driver is not compatible with TS and printing will

not work anyway.

Is there a generic print driver I can install in a case like this?

Not really, that's a feature of Windows 2008, and a number of 3rd

party driver-free printer utilities. But you can map the printer to

one of the built-in drivers (that come with the OS).

Here's how:

 

239088 - Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services

server logs events 1111, 1105, and 1106
