Print Drivers

-

actually windows 7/windows server 2008 question. have windows server 2008 acting our printer server well. of our hp printers using pcl 6 drivers. when went windows 7 on our client computers, pcl 6 drivers seem create problems on windows 7 computers. found out pcl 5 works better windows 7 computers. want load pcl 5 driver on print queue located on windows server 2008 machine. in doing so, push out new driver client computers or have load manually? know in old nt days, when had print server, load print drivers on server , when clients connected, push out apporpriate drivers. not sure if server 2008 works same way. please advise.

yes print server acts software distribution point.  if running 32bit 2008 install 64bit driver first, if 64bit 2008 install 32bit drivers first, way cross architecture drivers inplace clients prior switch rather trouble shooting issue after change.   issue see plan version of hp driver.  attempt stick same or near same release date.  device mode setting created 1 driver version need migrated newer driver.  when settings not handled new driver, driver perform manipulations , corrupt spooler memory , can lead double free , crashes.  if running 2008 r2, enabling print driver isolation prevent spooler failing, driver corrupt printisolationhost.exe terminate in many cases.
