When using Windows 7 and above (as I hope all of you are by now), you should use the driver store and import drivers as needed into that using DISM or the equivalent. (Forget about manipulating DevicePath or touching the INF folder.)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd799258(v=WS.10).aspx It's easy enough with DISM to remove drivers too, if you wanted to remove old versions to free up disk space. Otherwise, Windows would end up picking the highest version automatically.

So that After SOE Deployment once they try to install printers & Configure the drivers should take it from local SOE driver. How can we achieve this ? Is something to add a folder Name in below regkey ? or any better way of doing this? HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Devicepath Thanks, Hun
