Windows Printer Driver Install Error 2502 / 250

If you are getting 2502 / 250_   from the MSI Installer then you may be installing the driver while using a restricted user account that doesn’t have enough rights / privileges.

  • The error is basically saying you have insufficient rights to be able to write to the Windows Temp folder.
  • This location is required on your local PC Drive to extract files while the driver is installing.

Solution

You should log into the PC with a local admin account (computer administrator) (just to install the printer). Contact your IT department if required.

Once the driver is installed, you should be able to  revert back to a normal user account and still be able to use the printer.

*Alternatively, you could use the 'bare driver files' which does not use the MSI installer: 
Network Admin - Bare Driver Files
