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.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
