I am having difficulties adding any printers to my Server 2008 SP2 box. Every
time that I go to add a printer through TCP/IP port, I come up with an error
saying:

"Printer driver was not installed. Operation could not be completed (error
0x00000057)"

I managed to get one printer running on PCL5e drivers but the test pages I'm
printing have the last line of the text cut off. I have made sure that I'm by
no doubt trying to install the printer with the 64 bit drivers. I've checked
and double checked.

this is the error

E:\>winerror 0x00000057
87 ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER


Are you using the Print Management console or Add Printer? Can you add just
the driver or do you also receive this error when it's only the driver.

The error is the 0x00000057, only seems to happen with print drivers and not
with actuall adding printers. I went to change the driver on the only printer
that seemed to install and I ended up getting the same messsage.
