PC Fax 64 bit server 32 bit client

Yea, mine all are too. I had to use VMWARE Workstation and Deploy a Windows 7 install to get the .CAB file to install the printer. Way To Go Sharp!

Back in the NT days, I used to upload win2k drivers to NT using this method. it works for uploading 32 bit drivers to a 64 bit server and vice versa.

Add the 64 bit driver to the server
Log on locally to a 32 bit client workstation with admin rights to the server and install printer onto the workstation using LPT1 port. (you can create IP port if you want to, but don’t need to).
Browse network to the 64 bit server ( or you can get there from the Run command:
\\ServerName)
Double-click on printers and faxes folder
Right click on desired printer and select sharing
Click on additional drivers
Check box next to Windows XP x86
The 32 bit driver will be uploaded to the server
You can now download it from the server. (delete the printer from the client workstation used in these instructions and then re-add it from the server share)
