32bit clients can't add printer from 64bit 2003 Server

Ok, I know this seems very elemental but it is kicking my butt. I have a

64bit Server 2003 and I use it mostly for file/print sharing all of a sudden

I am having problems with some users on Windows XP 32bit clients complaining

they can't connect to their printers. When i get there I try to add the

network printer but it tells me the driver is not compatible. I then go to

the 64bit server and try to add 32 bit driver support but it will not allow

me. Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Juan
