I have been having similar issues with some lower end printers and even some expensive Panasonic devices ,on a 2008 SBS server. I can install both 64 and 32 drivers but all the 32 bit drivers fail to print to the device, so I had to setup a workstation to share out from there..

Had no luck with colour lasers from epson and hp, or b&w lasers from hp. The only one that I got working was a brother B&W. Is this fixed in 2008 R2? If you download the driver from MS and you add additional x86 drivers- why can't there be a checkbox to say get this from ms too. This is such a missed opportunity- if ms have the signed 64 bit drivers why can't they offer the 32 bit with the same name? Really dissapointed in what I've found so far- I hope I am missing something, Bro ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
