Guest mnb951 Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 I am migrating from a 5 year old server 2003 x86 server to new server 2003 x64 server. I am running in to a problem loading the print drivers. The client machines are all xp pro x86 machines. I've tried installing the x 64 version of the print drivers as well as the x86 version. None of them will install. They either tell me that this is the wrong hardware platform or that the driver needs to be installed from a remote machine. Any help will be appreciated Thanks,
Guest Bruce Sanderson Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Re: printing on server 2003 x64 See if the information at http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/AddDrivertoOldOS.htm is any help. Although this page is addressing "older versions", it applies whenever there are platform differences. The printing related newsgroups might provide better help - e.g. microsoft.public.windows.vistat.print_fax_scan and microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax. Since the server is 64 bit, you would add the printer and use the 64 bit drivers for the printer on it. Then add the 32 bit drivers as Additional Drivers, which will quite likely have to be done from a 32 bit windows installation using the technique described on the page referenced above. -- Bruce Sanderson http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
