Guest Frank Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 I am trying to add x64 drivers to ws03r2 32bit (print) server if I do this from the server it asks me for the x64 drivers (works OK) then it asks me for the OS disk. I point to a network copy of the x64 disk and find the folder with "ntprint.inf" but the wizard rejects this. what am I doing wrong? regards Frank
Guest Jabez Gan [MVP] Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 Re: x64 addtional printer drivers, fails when it asks for ntprint.inf Try this method: 1) On the x64 client, from Start > Run, type \\servername, where servername = the name of the x86 windows server. 2) In the list of shares, open the Printers folder. 3) Right-click in the Printers folder and select Server Properties. 4) Go to the Drivers tab and add a new x64 driver. Hope this helps. -- Jabez Gan Microsoft MVP: Windows Server - File Storage "Frank" <noreply@127.0.0.1> wrote in message news:ucnau5nLIHA.5860@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >I am trying to add x64 drivers to ws03r2 32bit (print) server > > if I do this from the server it asks me for the x64 drivers (works OK) > then it asks me for the OS disk.

Guest Frank Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 Re: x64 addtional printer drivers, fails when it asks for ntprint.inf I already know of that method, in fact you have to do what you suggest and then you add addtional drivers from the x64 client But how can I add the drivers if I don't yet have a client? regards Frank "Jabez Gan [MVP]" <mingteikg@blizNOSPAMhosting.com> wrote in message news:69EE3C28-295A-45A7-BD85-FA07061BAF17@microsoft.com... > Try this method: > > 1) On the x64 client, from Start > Run, type \\servername, where > servername = the name of the x86 windows server. > > 2) In the list of shares, open the Printers folder. > > 3) Right-click in the Printers folder and select Server Properties. > > 4) Go to the Drivers tab and add a new x64 driver. > > Hope this helps. > > > > -- > Jabez Gan > Microsoft MVP: Windows Server - File Storage > "Frank" <noreply@127.0.0.1> wrote in message > news:ucnau5nLIHA.5860@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >>I am trying to add x64 drivers to ws03r2 32bit (print) server >> >> if I do this from the server it asks me for the x64 drivers (works OK) >> then it asks me for the OS disk.
