Update driver needed error condition
Some workstations have had problems with roaming profiles after a driver update.
If you receive the "update driver needed" error message, the easiest way to solve the problem is to delete the printer in question from the devices and printers view, found under the Start menu, then log out and then log in again.
- Open Start > Devices and Printers.
- Move the cursor on top of the printer, then right-click Remove device with the mouse.
- Log out and then log in again.
