If you try PINGing the printer from the server, do you get a response? If not what if you hook up a workstation from that network connection (the one used by server) and PINGing, do you get a response? You can try PINGing the printer from the workstation (or notebook) to see if you get a response. If you get a response, then there might be something about the server (perhaps insufficient network privileges, or perhaps you need to unlock ports in the firewall).

When running the installer on the server, did you try right-clicking on the installer and select "Run as Administrator"?

>It is a network connected printer. No print server just TCPIP port. The remote computer used to be a windows 7 64Bit and report printing worked fine. But I was able to install the windows 7 driver using an exe. It seems the driver for 2008 has to installed through windows. The printer is a Brother MFC-8460N.

>>>Hi All

>>>I have been trying to setup remote printing from my win 7 64bit computer from a win 2008 RT server. The problem I am having is I can't seem to be able to install the printer drivers (no printer drivers installed) I need on the server. The server seems to want to connect to a printer which it can't. Tried manually go through the setup process but it won't show the INF file and I have confirmed that the INF file is there and the Brother website says this is the correct driver for 2008 RT.

>>How is the printer connected? Is it connected directly to one of the computers via USB or other port, or is it connected via network? If it is connected to a computer, which computer is it connected to? If network, is the printer and server connected up on the same LAN w/o having a router/bridge of some sort between the two?
