Jeffrey just set up a Windows Server 2008 R2 server with two Xerox printers. For one printer (a WorkCenter printer), he was able to load the x32 drivers as additional drivers directly on the server (on the sharing tab of the printer) after the printer was installed. For the other printer (a Phaser), he had to connect with an x32 client (Windows XP machine) as administrator and load the x32 drivers from that machine.
So yes, it can be done, but it depends on the specific printer and drivers available as to how to do it.

Here is one issue... They have a new server running Win2008 64 bit. They have installed a bunch of printers using the drivers from the manufacturers but these are 64 bit drivers. They have shared the printers to the general user (all 32 bit users) and no one can print. Is it possible to have printers on a 64 bit server and share them to the 32 bit user? The guy before me said he could not get the 32 bit drivers to install on the server and so here I am. I just want to make sure it is possible before I spend hours trying to get it to work. Any help would be great! Thanks!
