To update or change printer drivers for a printer When installing printer drivers that are provided by the device manufacturer, follow the instructions provided with the printer driver instead of using this procedure. Client computers automatically download and install the updated printer drivers the next time they attempt to print to the printer. To update or change the printer drivers for a printer, use the following procedure. Windows automatically uploads the drivers from the client computer to the print server. Then use Print Management from the client computer to connect to the print server, and add the additional drivers from the Additional Drivers dialog box. If this is the case, log on to a client computer that uses the same processor architecture as the printer drivers that you want to add to the print server, and install those printer drivers. You might not be able to extract some printer drivers without installing them.


The drivers need to be tested before putting on the production server. To add client printer drivers to the print server, first make sure to have the drivers downloaded and placed on your machine. You will not be able to back up printer drivers that are larger than 2GB. You can add printer drivers that are up to 2GB in size.
