I have a Vista Biz laptop running on a Windows 2003 SP2 domain with GPMC SP1
installed on the Domain Controller. I have tried to use this article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946225 Page 9 of 11

to resolve the issue where I get "Printer driver update needed message
reappears" in the properties of a Xerox printer that is being accessed by a
2003 print server. The user can update the driver and print but then this
message keeps coming back within a week or so. When I go into the Group
Policy the options that are shown do not look like the options I get. The
"When installing drivers for a new connection and When updating drivers for
an existing connection" are not there under the Point and print restrictions
options in GP.


Sorry for the long winded post but I wanted to be sure I was clear.

Thanks

John
