updating client printer drivers after updating drivers on server 2012r2?

hi spiceheads,

so the print management of 2012r2 is smashing me in the head with a brick.

printers are deployed via gpo (per user) using print management - easy part and printers installed fine. clients are win7 x64 and I think one or two win7 x86

I need to update the drivers from pcl5 to pcl6 on two printers. we have a mix environment of 86 and 64....updated on the server without a problem.

perform a gpupdate /force on the server and workstations. workstations get a restart...

log into the workstations and check the printers....still shows the old pcl5 drivers. the drop down is grayed out so I cant change it pcl6 - yet I want to accomplish this automatically without user interaction.

the Advancedtabof eachprinter showsthe new pcl6 drivers on the drop down box for both printers.

what the heck am I doing wrong? what am I missing? :(

thanks
