| | Vista Print Spooler We have 2 Vista Ultimate machines that get printer spooler errors when adding network printers from a 2003 Server via bat file. Have to go and restart printer spooler service to add more printers. Anyone else having the same issue or know a fix? Here is a sample of the bat file we run: @rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n \\print\Bankruptcy @rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n \\print\Checks Should the coding be different for Vista? Thanks! |

| | Re: Vista Print Spooler Alan, Thanks for the reply. The printers are HP LaserJet 4000 - 4350's. We have 28 of them. I looked on our print server, I have quite a few of those DLL's showing up. Which one should I replace? I was guessing c:\Windows\system32 but I wanted to check first.

| | Re: Vista Print Spooler \windows\system32\spool\printers\drivers\w32x86\3 get the properties on the file hpbmini.dll. If the version number is not a min of 16, it will terminate the spooler when it attempts to determine the OS version number after it is copied to the Vista machine. Once you update the file on the server the Vista clients can make the connection without crashing the spooler. Keep sending in the Windows Error Reporting. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];kbhowto This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
