Clear the print spooler

C:\>net stop spooler && del /q %WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers\* && net start spooler

Stops the print spooler service, clears out all queued print jobs, and restarts the spooler. This will fix a LOT of printer issues.

Install a network printer

C:\>rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n\\SERVER\hplaserj

Quick and easy. If the printer is shared correctly on the server with the right drivers for the client architecture and whatnot, nothing else is needed.
