windows 2003 and windows vista

July 11, 2007

Hello all,

I am not sure if I am posting in the correct forum, but we are experiencing

an issue that just started yesterday. We have a windows 2003 server that is

our print server and up until yesterday afternoon, clients that were running

Vista were able to select a printer from the server and print to it - even

though the Vista driver was not installed on it. Right now, when trying to

print to the same print device on the print server, clients are getting an

error that is telling them that they need to download the driver in order to

connect. I know that this is a very basic question, but has anyone experinced

this issue and if so, how was it resolved? What I don't understand is that we

weren't having these issues until yesterday pm. I am reaching here, but could

this be related to the Windows Updates that were released yesterday? The

updates haven't been installed on the server as of now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards

Greg
