Operation could not be completed (error 0x0000007e).

Hello,

We are moving 200+ machine to Vista and we are experiencing a few problems
with Printers, specificly the HP LaserJet 4250.

The clients are all Vista SP1, the server is Windows 2003 server R2 running
in a virtual enviromenent (MS Virtual Server 2005 R2). We have several brand
of Printers and all of them are operation(Xerox Wirkcenter, Sharp's and some
smaller HP printers. The only one that seems affected are the HP 4250's.

This error only seems to apply to the PCL drivers. Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

In some cases, error 0x000000te is driver issue. have you checked if HP has
a new driver for 4250?

I've tried the latest drivers from HP and also achived versions of the
drivers.

I'm starting to doubt if it's a drivers issue or not.

This morning, I installed an Xerox printer and received the same error. This
is the first time I get this on a non-HP printer. I'm using the UNC path to
install the printers(point+click printing).

I'm thinking it might not be a HP driver issue at all since it happend on a
Xerox printer.

Could this error be linked to a communication problem between the print
server and the clients, I remember reading somewhere that it had something to
do with a RPC call.
