could not install printer driver

[David Gu]

Hi!

I can't add third party printer driver to Windows XPE.
I downloaded some of HP printer drivers from HP website and try to install it.

Some drivers were installed well, but some driers NOT!!!
The error message is
"Printer driver was not installed. Operation could not be completed"

Anyone has good idea for this problem?
Help me, Please.

David Gu.

David,

Tour runtime image probably does not have all the necessary files in it to
satisfy the dependencies of the all these third printer drivers.Your surest
option is to componentize these third party printer drivers, import them
into your database and add them to your configuration.

For info on componentizing drivers refer to:

Try adding Ntprint.inf from repository to \Windows\Inf folder.

This file will not get copied when you add local printing support.

Copy this file and restart the machine. Aftr restarting, try adding the same
printer.

I'm sure this will solve your problem.
