From: Piet van Dongen on
Can you check the permissions on the spool dir?

Else:

- stop printer spooler service
- delete content op c:\windows\system32\spool
- delete the key hklm\system\ccs\control\printers\drivers
- reinstall the driver


Or

Are you using a virusscanner that is interfering with creating the printers?
There's an issue with mcafee and citrix...


Regards,

Piet van Dongen
