How to install printer driver on terminal server without having printer present

[lb63640]

I need suggestions on how to install the LaserJet P1005 driver into Windows 2003 (terminal server) without actually having the printer physically connected to the server.

A remote user has the P1005 connected to their local machine and wants to print to it during their TS session. Naturally, the only driver I'm finding runs through a wizard that inevitably comes to the "plug in USB cable and power on printer."

How can I get past this?

Hi,

I think you have to use the host based print driver, not the full package. Expand the driver out and then install it. Alternatively expand the driver out, and then go into server properties in Printer and faxes and add a driver there.
