Hi, We are running a 2003 R2 domain and have several win 7 clients. Using the 'Add a printer' wizard doesn't list any network printers even though we have all printers listed in active directory. If i click 'the printer that I want isn't listed' then it will find them when searching the directory. My question is why do they not appear in the first place? The printer server is 2003 32bit and the clients are win 7 64bit. Print drivers work fine so no problems there.

Hi PartyMarty, In addition, I am wondering if this issue just occurs on Windows 7 based clients currently. Please check if the following group policy is set correct on DC. User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Printers\Default Active Directory path when searching for printers Does it work?

Hi Linda, I have set the group policy setting to LDAP://DC=<our domain>,DC=com but it still does not work. According to MS the default setting is to search the entire directory anyway.
