Article summary

When I install a package I receive the following error:

"The install failed with error "AddPrinter failed with error= The printer driver is unknown."


This error is not related to Pharos - it is associated with the print driver.

Complete the following test to confirm this:

  1. Create a test printer using the suspect driver on the local workstation

  2. When you click the Finish button you should receive the following MS error: "Unable to Install Printer. Operation could not be completed"
