So I connect to the 32bit server, install all the Drivers that I think are
the right ones.
For Instance I have a HP Laserjet 5000 PCL x86 Driver for one of the
printer.
So I install from my Vista x64 machine a "HP Laserjet 5000 PCL 6" driver.
It takes it and is listed in the Installed Printer Drivers.
I try to connect to the shared printer and says I don't have a Driver and
asks if I want to search. Searching comes up with nothing.
I get properties of the printer, click sharing Tab, hit the Additional
Drivers button, The x64 is not check, and the installed status is 'no' If I
click Install it wants a Disk.
Looks like the Driver name needs to match Exactly. I guess I need to
install the same driver name for both x86 and x64 even though they are the
same, just different versions?
