You can use a 32bit server or client to get the driver and then push that to the 64bit machine.
It's a pain but it usually works. More emphasis on this issue will come from 2008 R2 as more businesses install it and find that they have to get 32bit drivers onto it. -----Original Message----- From: Brougham Baker [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, 14 September 2009 6:32 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: 2008 64bit print server with 32bit clients Is the printer driver situation as dire as it looks if your print server is running on a 64 bit os? 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/> ~
