Printer Driver Install - "the Printer Driver Is Not Configured Properly To Allow Client Connections"
I have a customer with 33 Zebra Z4M printers.
They have them installed on a Windows 2003 server. I need to migrate them to a 2008 64-bit server.
The most consistent way I've found to migrate printers from 2003 32-bit to 2008 64-bit is to create one printer on the 2008 server with that same driver name. Then when running the export/import utility in Print Management, those printers will install with the 64-bit driver... as long as the name is the same.
With the Seagull 7.3.5 driver (7.3.3 works the same way), I go to install the printer but during the install in Print Management, it pops up this message...
(I tried to embed images from flickr but got an error that this site won't allow it)
Interactive services dialog detection
A program can't display a message on your desktop

Options to select:

Remind me in a few minutes.
I choose "Show me the message"
and a dialog box says
"The printer driver is not configured properly to allow client connections.
You may either try again to connect, or disable network features, blah blah blah..."
Options are:
Retry
Disable
Help
If I hit Retry, it seems to install correctly, but for some odd reason it disconnects my Remote Desktop session. When I reconnect, I see the successful install message.
I could live with it if it were one printer but this happens for every Zebra Z4M printer during the import.
Any way around this? Is there a security setting in the 2008 server causing this?
