Can't install printer drivers on Server 2008 R2


i trying install several printers on new serverr running 2008 r2.  trying install both hp , sharp printers several of old , not appear have driver installed.  have tried install printers using setup program came driver, "add device" option in devices , printers window, , through print , document services.  none of them have worked.

the "add device" option takes me identify .inf file driver , starts install.  gives me error 0x00000057 code.  process through print , document services gives me same result.

i found entry in blog said problem related permissions .dat files in driverstore folder , gave instructions changing them.  i've had limited success because permissions keep getting reset original settings.  permissions see files system full permission , users read permission.  have tried adding group full permissions , changing permissions users group.

any ideas on need able add these additional drivers?

i found problem.  needed add user id builtin/users group in active directory.  after did this, did not have problems adding printers.
