Question

I am trying to install a windows printer driver(OEMUNI) provided as a sample in WDK(Windows Driver Kit). But I keep getting following error from add printer wizard: “Printer driver was not installed. Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000002)“. I have tried running the add printer wizard with admin privileges but I still get the same problem.

I am using windows 7, 64-bit version. Can somebody help me here ? Also, what would the error code:0x00000002 signify ?

Following is my INF file:-

Answer 1

The error is ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND.

1. did you build the sample first?
2. after you built it, did you put it into the correct folder relative to the .inf file?
