Thanks for your reply, Alan. I tried your suggestion on the server, but
I'm
afraid I still can't seem to add the driver on my XP client (by browsing
to
the server & double clicking on the shared fax). I'm getting the
following
error message:
"The server for the 'Microsoft Shared Fax Driver' printer does not have
the
correct printer driver installed. If you want to search for the proper
driver, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel and contact your network
administrator or original equipment manufacturer for the correct printer
driver."
Any other thoughts?

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.
