Re: Vista X64 can't print to shared Vista X86

Cari,
Thanks for the quick (and weekend!) reply. Re "Did you add the 32 bit drivers to the 64 bit PC?"...No; I think that is what I was trying to do when I got the "Server properties cannot be viewed" message.

I was following Alan's instructions at the time (sitting at the 32 bit machine):
"You can add the driver onto the 64 bit machine from the 64
bit machine using Have disk but it's easier to add the driver to the 64 bit machine from the 32 bit machine....

From the 32bit machine, open the remote 64bit machine's printers folder. Start / Run / \\remotemachine Open the printers folder. Right click any white space and select Server Properties / Drivers / Add"


Not meaning to point fingers, but I'm curious: I'm willing to wait for the proper fix so that it installs without these work-arounds, but I can't tell: Is it a bug in Vista, a bug in the drivers or is the limitation "as designed" (no printer sharing across 64/32 bit Vista)?

Thanks again to everyone chiming in on this issue! And Jason, if you're still following this, did you get your Kodak to work?
