do this == install the driver. I found out the UI detects the fax driver
name and hides it, that's why the driver is never listed. So I'm sure you
found the driver but the UI did not display the driver.

The good news is there is a KB / white paper for this.

The bad news is it is still in review.

The good news for you, there are tools included in the OS to install the
driver without using the UI.

the easiest way to install the driver is first copy the 32bit files to the
64bit server

the 32bit fax files are located on a 32bit machine under
\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\prnms 002.inf_?????? (?? is a
GUID reference).

there will be an i386 directory that also needs to be copied.

on the x64 machine I copied the x86 fax files to C:\fax\x86

than in an elevated command window

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /m "Microsoft Shared Fax Driver" /h
"x86" /v "Type 3 - User Mode" /f C:\fax\x86\prnms002.inf

printui /? will give you the options for accessing printui interfaces using
rundll32.



you can also use prndrvr.vbs in system32\printing_admin_scripts

Thanks, Alan. Can you explain what you mean by "do this"? I tried
connecting from a 32 bit vista client, and got similar results. I tried
adding the 32 bit fax driver from the vista client and from the server,
but
it keeps prompting me provide a printer driver. I tried directing it to
XP,
Vista, and Server 2008 32 and 64 bit media, but can't seem to locate the
fax
driver it's looking for.

Thanks again for your assistance.

BK

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.
