Hi Christine,
When you do the mappings look at the name of the printer driver on the
workstation under the properties of the printer. Note capitalization, spaces
etc.
For example you may see things like HP Laserjet 6L PS or Hewlett Packard
LaserJet 6L Postscript. I could never understand why the heck different OS
versions of HP drivers do this but they do. You may have to do several
different variations of the same printer in your mappings to the universal
printer.
A good site to start on is http://www.printingsupport.com

Thanks Mike,
I understand syntax is very important and this is where I'm not getting this
and screwing up. For the "client Printer" Do I put the name of the shared
network printer or do I put the model of the printer? Or do I even have this
backwards?

In the client driver put the exact name of the client driver on the
workstation. Syntax is important. For the server driver click the drop down
button and choose
the driver you want to map to the client printer such as an HP Laserjet 4.

Thanks. I probably was not clear. When actually mapping a printer in cmc (right
click printer drivers, mapping) What name do I put in the "client driver" and
what name to I put in the server driver" Do I put the actual name of the
printer? The network share name of the printer?
Thanks.

Under Printer Management Properties --> Drivers select
Use Universal Driver only if native driver is unavailable
unselect
Automatically install Native Drivers for Auto-Created Client and Network
Printers

What's the best practice for mapping printers to a universal driver?
