I've been doing something similar recently and it is a pain. The trick is to install the print driver on the server from a client. You don't need the print management snap-in. You have to do is connect to the printer from a 32-bit client - when it complains that the server doesn't have a driver for you, tell it you will find a driver and then install the driver from your driver.cab. Once you do that, you should be able to add the driver from the client by browsing to \\server\printers and opening the Server Properties from the File menu. Go to the Drivers tab and Add the x86 driver. Hopefully that is close enough that you can figure it out... -Brian -----Original Message----- From: Terri Esham [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 2:19 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Windows 2008 64 Bit and Windows 32 bit drivers Yes.
