Nope, it will be an additional driver. From: David Mazzaccaro [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2011 9:48 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Windows 7 64bit not connecting to network printers
Thanks. So it seems I shouldn't have a problem loading the 64bit driver on a print server that is Win2003 32 bit SP2? Will it replace the 32 bit driver that is already on there (and being used by Win xp 32 bit machines)? From: Kennedy, Jim [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2011 9:40 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Windows 7 64bit not connecting to network printers You will need to get the 64 bit drivers and add them to the existing print server. No you don't need additional printers on the server..... http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2010/01/19/print-driver-installation-on-32-bit-versus-64-bit-servers.aspx From: David Mazzaccaro [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2011 9:14 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Windows 7 64bit not connecting to network printers So I've added my first Windows 7 64 bit machine to the domain, but I can't add any of the network printers to it. Win7 says "no driver was found". If I goto the printer server (win2003 server), right click on any of the network printers>sharing>additional drivers... I only have "x86, Win2000 Winxp Win2003) checked. I can't check x64 because it then asks for a driver location... Do I need to install the 64 bit drivers for every printer that this new workstation needs to connect to? I assume I'd have to create a separate printer on the server (with 64bit driver) just for Win7 workstations? Not sure where to start.
