Works fine with Windows domain on Windows 7 and Windows XP with client side extensions update installed I posted all that was required the other day, so should be easy to find.
Well, we aren't using group policy is because of two reasons; 1 Our print server is running Server NOT R2 2 The main reason We have tried it, but it would mean each room in the school having it's own group policy. We have a domain policy, which is inherited to everyone in school. Then a secondary policy various, but only one is applied depending on the group of the user Then we'd have to apply a third policy on top of that to deal with printers.
Our systems aren't exactly Very old and slow because we can't afford to upgrade them. Loading multiple GPs in sucession really does bring them to their knees.
The printers would have to be room specific, so we'd have to apply the GPs on a machine level, because the students and staff move around the school a lot depending on their lessons. That's the reason why we have a centralised vbs script that sets a defined printer and sets defaults, as it doesn't effect system performance much. I was in you same position as you, but save your self the headache.

I found the group policy setting Point and Print Restrictions: When the policy setting is disabled: -Windows Vista computers will not show a warning or an elevated command prompt when users create a printer connection to any server using Point and Print.
I've also tried the following: Recreating the printers using newer drivers Adding the printer using 32 bit drivers on the machine, then adding the 64 bit drivers on a Windows 7 machine Adding the printer from a windows 7 machine using print management None of these things work.
