I'm also interested in what you find on this, even if there are no replies here, as I will be replacing a WS08 R2 SP1 print server with WS12R2 this summer. Same scenario, the server will be serving mostly Win7 clients for a while, but also some 8.1.

All of the clients on the network are currently Windows 7. Is anyone using the newer v4 print drivers, or are people still installing the legacy v3 drivers? For anyone using the newer v4 print drivers, has anyone experienced any problems with Windows 7 clients when using the Microsoft enhanced Point and Print compatibility driver (this is what Windows 7 appears to use by default when connecting to a printer share from a Server 2012r2 server that uses a v4 print driver)? Thanks, -Aakash Shah
