Hi, We've recently added a Windows Server 2008 R2 terminal server to our network, and I've been asked to add some printers to it (a HP LaserJet 4100 and a HP LaserJet 1160.)

However, if I try to add a network printer on the 2008 R2 terminal server with the add printer wizard, it can't find a driver.

I also tried exporting the printer from the print mmc, if the print server was server 2003 R2 not just server 2003 it might let me import it, but print mmc is not supported on server 2003 pre R2. I might consider upgrading it but it won't guarentee it will work. I tried managing the 2003 print server via the print mmc on the TS.
It added the print driver, then started complaining about lack of drivers!
