Server 2008 x64 Fax Server with x32 XP Clients


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a 64 bit Windows Server 2008 Standard server configured with the fax

server role. I can't seem to figure out how to add x32 drivers so I can

"print" to the shared fax device on the server from my 32 bit XP clients. I

can send a fax from the server without a problem.

 

When I try to add the x32 drivers to the shared fax printer on the server,

I'm prompted to "please provide a printer driver". I've tried pointing to 32

bit XP media, 64 bit Server 2008 media, tried loading the driver from an XP

and Vista PC via the server share, but it doesn't accept any of these paths.

 

From my XP PC, I can browse to the share on the server & connect the fax

print device. It appears on my XP PC as "Fax on %servername%". I can open

the fax console on my XP PC & see jobs that are in the outbox (submitted from

the server). When I attempt to create a new fax from the XP fax console, I

get an hourglass for a brief moment, and then nothing. If I try & print to

the fax "print" driver from the XP PC, I get nothing. I believe with the x32

W2K3 fax server I worked with a wizard came up asking for the fax number,

select a cover page, etc.

 

I'm assuming this is because I don't have the x32 fax driver loaded on the

server. Any ideas on how I can add this?

 

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
