Default 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.

I am migrating from a 5 year old server 2003 x86 server to new server 2003
x64 server. I am running in to a problem loading the print drivers. The
client machines are all xp pro x86 machines. I've tried installing the x
64
version of the print drivers as well as the x86 version. None of them will
install. They either tell me that this is the wrong hardware platform or
that
the driver needs to be installed from a remote machine.

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks,
