So for example, we could create a filter that tests the Jobs In Queue field for all your printers using the Is Greater Than condition against the value That way, any printer that currently has more than 25 jobs in its queue will satisfy the filter. But what about color? We wanted to display all color printers on our network! How do we do that? Well, fortunately when we created each printer we assigned that printer a location, and we decided to use the Location field of color printers to indicate that these were in fact used for color printing.
For example, here is the General tab of the properties sheet of Sales Printer Figure The Location field of Sales Printer 3 indicates it is a color printer and should be used for color printing only. So our planning helps when does a little planning not help? Figure Filter to test the Location field for presence of the word "color" in it. Here we can set an email notification that is sent when the filter condition is met, or we can specify a script to be run when the condition is met.
This isn't useful for this particular filter we just want to display all color filters on our network but for the Jobs In Queue Is Greater Than 25 condition mentioned previously we could set an email notification that sends a message to the administrator saying "Too many jobs in queue! Let's just click Finish here and see the result in the Print Management console:.
Figure Displaying all color printers using a custom filter we created. Note that the new printer filter we have created is refreshed dynamically, so it always displays current and accurate information concerning printers on the network.

It says I have the wrong software. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get around this? I've looked into some Universal Drivers but they don't make much sense to me. Go to Solution. I had the same issue when attempting to install the driver from the self extracting download.
OS not compatible Download and extract the driver from HP. Use a third party zip tool, like 7zip to extract to folder. Click File and select Printer Server. Install the driver from here. Just use the Autorun. View solution in original post. Their are no drivers for windows Server. We are running Terminal Services so we need to install the drivers onto the server as well as the local desktop but we can't.
HP sucks for this. You really have to check to make sure the right drivers are there or you get stuck with an incompatible printer. The all-in-ones have winserver drivers but the printer is crap, I bought two and both have broken already. I used to use s but they kept getting the "error 79" bug and became useless. These printers are not even small-business ready.
Thanks for the reply. Not exactly the answer I was hoping for. I have had other printers work with the XP driver. I can't say that I ever found an HP printer with server driver. We are also running Terminal Services. Most of the workers are logging in from home and want to print to their personal printers. They already have the drivers on the local machine so it would just be getting it on the server. I thought saying Map Printers would take care of it but I learned otherwise.
