THANKS! I have spent 2 hours on this - I download a hotfix from microsoft trying to resolve it. I used another machine and copied the dll's.... and all I needed to do is not use the existing driver! UGH! It's the obvious stuff! THANK YOU!

This is no better than any of the dozens of other solutions that have FAILED! Windows 7 sucks.

Sadly, this did not work for me either. Win7 is giving me fits. I've tried bazillion pdf convertor, have always used novapdf, worked fine. Have tried at least 9 others, they all seems to install fine, then don't show up in my devices/printers list. The one exception is Universal Document Convertor printer trial. It installed as expected. My only other need is converting djvu files from a German digital library to pdf. Completes that task fine too. If the others worked, they would create a pdf from a djvu viewer of choice. So, guess I'm stuck shelling out $69 for an app with limited use to me. Can't justify buying a full featured Adobe Acrobat. This does seem a Win7 issue. I am not happy!...and a bit poorer.

have you been able to figure out a root cause? is this related to missing updates on the windows server?

Try again, if this does not help than assign the printer another IP. Also make sure that the printer is connected to the same domain that you are.

anonymous Says:
March 15th, 2011

Hi
I did all of which you advise, yet went through process and still gave same message.
I looked at your suggestion about asigning another IP address, but can't, 4 other users use it with that IP address.

1. Simply rename the files in <root dir>:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\prtprocs\w32x86 and copy the files from another machine using the same printer from its <root dir>:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\prtprocs\w32x86.

2. Now try to reinstall the printer, it will work.
