The printer is an Oki microline, the Oki homepage says "use the microsoft driver you can get when using the Windows Update button". This isn't exactely new, it is the same for HP Laserjet 4 and a few thousand other printers.
The problem is that the add printer wizard gets stuck stuck when hitting "Windoes Update". %WINDIR%\SoftwareDistribution was removed several times. The Windows update components were re-registered. Nothing seems to help, every time I try that add-printer-click-windows-update method it does not work. The internet is not blocked, any other Windows update or surfing works as it should. Another 2012 R2 server (same network, the DomainController) gets the list without hassle.
It there a way to clone that printer info over to the other Server?
Is there an offline method to get the full list of MS-supported printers? Or an offline update I can download so the full list of printers appears as it should without the need for hitting "Windows Update"?
As last: That server cannot be reinstalled..
