Server 2008 R2/Windows 8.1 - The handle is invalid when trying to print test page from network printer

hi all.

i'm running 2008 r2 print server. i've setup dell b3460dn laser printer on it, shared it, , added 32 , 64 bit drivers print server. of windows 7 clients can download driver/install printer and print without issues new printer. of windows 8/8.1 clients can download driver , install printer without issue, try print (including test page) "the handle invalid" failure message.

can windows 8/8.1 clients not download drivers 2008 r2 print servers?

hello tom,

it possible. if printing works fine using 'generic text only' rule out network issue , check driver in use.

can check if dell offers universal printer driver can test with?

thanks
