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 Advanced tab of each printer shows the new pcl6 drivers on the drop down box for both printers.
what the heck am I doing wrong? what am I missing? :(
thanks
