I have recently decided to install PDFCreator on my XP file server to be used over the network as a shared printer. PDFCreator was installed in server mode and is shared with appropriate permissions. The PDFs will save to a share that is local to the file server and is split into directories by user name.
Everything works just fine so far except for installing the shared printer on the two Vista machines I have on the network. The PCs see the network printer fine, but refuse to install it. Vista says that it can't find the appropriate driver and asks me to install one; but no matter what I have tried, it won't accept anything.
So far, I have tried installing PDFCreator on Vista directly, then removing the PDF printer and trying to use the shared one (Vista still asked for a driver), tried directing it to the ghostpdf.ini in the PDFCreator Ghost Script directory (Vista rejected the driver as incorrect), and tried a generic driver that comes with Vista (didn't work).
Anyone have any idea what I can do to solve this? (Or possibly a driver that may work with Vista when installing the network printer?)
Thank you in advance.
