The trick to this is to connect to the print server from a 32 bit client (so goto \\server<file:///\\server> and browse the printers folder), and add the drivers that way.

Try Deleting the drivers and starting over from scratch? And make sure the driver versions for the 64 and 32 bit match. If I remember according to the documentation it won't work if they don't. ________________________________ From: Tom Miller [mailto:tmil...@hnncsb.org] Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2010 2:29 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: 32 bit drivers, 64-bit server Sorry, 2008 server, need 32-bit drivers for the XP clients.

I try to add, from the server, using the Print Console drivers option, select the 32-bit driver. I provide the path to i386. The path is ignored and the install fails. Then I tried to install the printers on a 32-bit print server, export, and import onto the 64-bit server. Does not work. Any other suggestions?
