Vista - Can't see printers on SBS2003

12-03-2007

This may be an old issue. I have a small server based network (SBS 2003) and
all my printers are on the network. The Vista machine is a member of the
server group. I am running Vista Ultimate.

I cannot add the network printer to Vista. I can see it as part of the
server but when I "double-click" on the printer, it just keeps "processing"
and does not add the printer.

Question: How do I add a server attached printer to my Vista Ultimate
machine?

Thx

I killed the spool subsystem and re-booted. All the previously attached
printers came "back"

Working now. I do not know why!
