Default 32 bit fax print driver for W2008 x64 Fax Server

You will need to do this remotely from a 32bit Vista client with admin
access to the 2008 fax server.

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.

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.
