My first thought is you had the 64-Bit drivers already installed on your laptop but no 64-bit drivers installed on the Print Server.

The have one new HP desktop that is win7 x64. When you click the add printer wizard it does not see any of the networked printers installed on the SBS server. The SDDP discovery service is started on the desktop. My laptop is a thinkpad with Win& x64 and it is simply authenticated by me manually to the network ( ie not a domain member), but I can see and add any of the network printers. It took me thirty seconds to add a printer to my notebook. I'd like it to be that easy with any new Win 7 machines they purchase. What would cause the auto discovery to fail? Also, thought it was weird that when I tried to manually add an HP printer, the HP desktop didn't offer a compatible driver, but my thinkpad had a PCL 5e driver available. Thanks for any help. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail and any attachments are confidential.
