GPO Printer install not working.

[edsopercng]

I'm having trouble automatically installing printers through GPO on SBS 2008. I'm attempting to deploy to both WinXP and Win7 clients.

I have added the printer to the "Windows SBS Users" GPO with no luck. I've also tried adding it to the Deployed Printers on both the Computer and User Policies, Control Panel->Printers on both User and Computer Preferences, and right-clicked on the printer in Print Management and click "Deploy With Group Policy." Nothing works, nothing shows up in gpresult, and I don't even get an error message in Applications Event Viewer. What else should I check?

Are you using Group Policy Preferences in your policy, or are you trying to do it another way? This is the best way:
