Windows 7 clients need to update printer driver for no reason

I have a problem with my Windows 7 clients in domain. We have 2012 print server and multiple printers installed on it. I installed a brand new Canon IR printer with a new driver from Canon webpage. After I did that, almost all Windows 7 clients got a warning
that they need to update driver for printing. Those clients are NOT using the printer I installed, but the other ones (who worked fine until my installation). Is it possible that installing new printer cause other compatible printers to update themselfs???
Can I avoid it in the future?

Hi IvanSa83,
The main issue is that installing a new printer will affect other printers, right?
Here is a similar symptom and the environment is Windows 7 ,Windows 2003 Server. The OP in this case has resolved this issue by modifying the Group policy called “Point and Print Settings Restrictions”. This policy will influence Windows Vista and the later
version.
As the link posted by OP said: When an administrator updates a printer driver on a shared print server, the Point and Print feature automatically updates printer drivers from the print server to a client computer. Some printers may share driver files
across several printer models or across a family of printers. An update to one of these shared driver files will cause client computers to update the drivers for any device that depends on the updated files.
Here is the case link :
Windows 7 client "Driver update required" status when other printers installed / updated on Win Server 2003

Here is the group policy path: Computer Configuration \Administrator Templates\Printers

Hi lt12345,
I understand that you are looking to use the Photosmart 2710 with Windows 8.1 RT, but are unable to locate a driver. In my attempt to locate a driver I have come up empty handed. It appears that this printer is not supported for printing from Windows RT.
Sorry to be the bearer of this bad news. Regards,

Need to find printer driver for OS 9.0.4 for Epson Stylus NX415

Here's my problem:
I have an old strawberry-colored original iMac, running OS 9.0.4.
I also have an Epson Stylus NX415 all-in-one printer.
But -- the iMac does not recognize the printer.
In order for this printer to connect to this Mac, I need to have a "printer driver" extension that I can install (and then restart), so that the printer appears in the "Chooser" window, so I can select it there.
I'd need either a printer driver specific to the NX415, or some kind of generic Epson printer driver compatible with this specific model.
But here's the problem: I think the NX415 was first manufactured AFTER OSX was introduced, so it could be that Epson never even bothered to make a printer driver for OS 9 for the NX415.
Help!
I've scoured the Internet and legacy sites that specialize in old OS 9 software, and also scoured Epson's site, and could not find any appropriate printer drivers in any of those places.
Any suggestions, or specific links to where I can download such a driver?
Or is it the case that this printer simply physically will NEVER work with this model of Mac, and I should just give up?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
A good guess would be that you are right in that an NX415 driver for Mac OS 9 was not made because of the fact that the printer is much newer than the operating system. It is probably going to be difficult to find a Mac OS 9 driver for another model that will allow any or all parts of the all-in-one printer in question to work properly. However, if you wish to carry out experiments, the Mac OS 8/9 drivers on the Epson support page for CX3200 may be as close as you can get.
Perhaps someone else has a better idea.

Need to update display driver for Equium L20

Hi All,
Just upgraded to Windows 7 on my Equium L20, but i need to update my video card driver, but cant find where to do it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ryan

Hi
Why you install Windows 7 on Equium L20? In my opinion this pretty old notebook doesnt support new Windows 7
If your notebook has an Intel graphic card, you could try the Windows 7 driver from Intel directly.

Updating printer driver for laserjet 2100tn

I have recently updated my Mac Mini (PawerPC) to an iMac with Lion. HP says that the printer driver update is through Apple, and nothing I do seems to call the Print/Scan dialog to notice it. Thoughts?
David

The printer may not be supported by Lion, if it's still supported the update will come from software updates. Just plug the printer straight into the iMac just run software updates and if there's any available it will pop up.

Adobe ps printer driver for windows vista. Where can I get it?

I need Adobe ps printer driver for windows vista. Where can i get it? Plz help me. If yes, then where and if no, why?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

The Acrobat printer produces a PS file that is then sent to the Distiller process to create a PDF. The other PPD you mention is something I know nothing about. However, why would you want to use a different driver? The Adobe PDF driver is optimized for use in creating PDF files and other routes may not produce as good of a result. If the other PPD produces a PDF, then why are you asking about the Adobe driver?

Need generic print driver for Officejet 7210 all-in-one on Windows 8.1

Updated my Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, which removed my print driver for an Officejet 7210 all-in-one. Attempted to reinstall. Error that file not found. Followed detailed process to a tee (deleted temp files, removed startup programs, everything). Driver doesn't work but printer does with other computers. Printer is no longer supported and no help (but is in great working condition).

Hi LChristofaro,
I have researched your error message and the Msiexec.exe error and it is an issue with windows installer. I recommend restarting your windows installer.
To do this:
1. Run "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks).
2. Double-click "Windows Installer" in the Services list.
3. Click Stop and click OK.
4. Click Start and click OK.
Restart you computer and try the install again.
Let me know if this helped.
Thank you,

Printer driver for HP LaserJet 4L with Windows 7

I cannot find the printer driver for my LaserJet 4L in Windows 7. I have a parallel to USB converter cable attached to my computer. I need the drivers.

My Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit system has a built-in driver for this printer model:
I don't know whether the driver is present on a fresh Windows install; it may only have appeared in the list after the Windows Update button was clicked on the above Add Printers dialogue, then waiting (perhaps for several minutes) whilst additional drivers were downloaded, and the list repopulated.
I'd assume that the same might be true of earlier Windows versions as well.

Hp photosmart 7350 Printer Driver for Windows 7

I can't seem to locate a Printer Driver for my HP photosmart 7350 printer. Hp states the driver for the HP deskjet 5550 should work, but it doesn't. I just bought a new computer and was hoping not to have to buy a new printer.

Hey farhanchd,
What is the full name of your HP Laserjet printer?
There are several models in the HP Laserjet 1100 series and would need to know the exact name to give you precise instructions.
I do know that the Laserjet 1160 has a driver available through the Windows Update system and may be the same for your printer. Please take a look at the information in the link provided below.

Windows 7 in OS printer driver for Deskjet 6840 not printing properly

The Windows 7 (32 bit) in OS print driver for the Deskjet 6840 produces print in "Normal" mode that is blurred (not properly registered left to right and slightly vertically). When printing in "Draft" mode it is apparent that the driver is not setting the left and right margins correctly, so that each line is alternately shifted left or right on the page. If I switch to a 500C driver, the printer works fine (but of course high res images do not print properly). This is occuring on two wired network computers, both running clean installs of Windows 7 professional with all current updates including Service Pack 1. Microsoft says, "It's a HP printer, it's their problem". I'm just looking for an answer. Anyone have experience with this?

Hello Bhl3302,
Thanks for posting at NI forums! I think you should follow RavensFan advice on contacting the vendor for information on the driver’s support, or if you have a readme file, you could check on that. Also, are the Windows XP and Windows sharing the same architecture (32 or 64 bits)? Maybe the driver is not compatible with one of them, in case it changed. I did a quick search on the error message you're getting, and I found this forum in which they give some steps you could follow regarding the INF file. For instance, in one of the comments, they say they had a similar issue with another device and they found some work arounds.
Best Regards,
Alina M

Laserjet 1000 printer driver for windows 8.1

Need help to locate a printer driver for my laserjet 1000. Thanks for the help...

If your Windows 8 is 64-bit I think you are out of luck.
If your Windows 8 is 32-bit, you could try the Windows 7 solutions given in the earlier message. They might work with Windows 8.
The LJ 1000 is indeed a great printer and it is sad that HP has not continued to supported the customers who bought it.

Need printer driver for Canon imageclass D320

Anyone direct me to a printer Driver for the Canon Imageless 320?
Canon support says none available.
Macbook pro under Yosemite.
thanks

Canon never made an OS X version of its proprietary driver "CARPS" that is used by the D320. And the Canon driver link provided above is just for Canon inkjets - there is no support for your model.
If you want to print to the D320 from the Mac, you would need to install a virtual machine application like VMware's Fusion and then load Windows 7 into the VM.
