Installing x64 print drivers on an x86 server.

Posted by liggyman in IT issues, Knowledge Base

I was unable to add x64 print drivers (for distribution to 64bit clients) on a 32bit Windows Server 2008 install.  This is the workaround:

  1. On an x64 machine browse to \\servername, where servername is the x86 print server.  (Start -> Run…, type ‘\\servername’.
  2. In the list of shares, open the Printers folder.
  3. Right-click in the Printers folder and select Server Properties.
  4. Go to the drivers tab and add a new x64 driver.
