Sort of defeats the purpose. Why put the driver on server at all then?

Well, I connected from another machine and logged in to the server with admin rights. Clicking on the Drivers tab it displayed the list of "Installed printer drivers" . I clicked Add and loaded the 32bit drivers from a local flash drive. After that completed, I right clicked the printer icon and chose "Connect" I got the message: You are about to connect to a printer on "servername", which will automatically install a print driver on your machine.............. I clicked "Yes" and got the following message: The server for the "printername" printer does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to search for the proper printer driver, click OK............ so I'm back to square one.

Admin rights on the workstation, not on the server

OK, I got to the Driver Tab. It lists all the drivers. And the printer in question only lists a x64 version. But all buttons are dimmed out except "Properties"

I highlight the printer. Click "File" but there are no "Server Properties".

It's hard to beleive that with all the functionality of the Win2K8 server you're saying I'd be better off working around it. Ill give that a shot.

From the x32 computer I type \\x64servername I am shown the shared printers. If I try to open, it tries to install the driver and it fails.

How do I add 32bit XP printer drivers to my Win2K8 x64 server? I've followed a few how-to's on the web without success. I've tried adding the printer through "Print Management" and "Devices and Printers" On the 32bit XP machine I can browse to the printer but when It tries to connect it says the correct drivers are not available. Any suggestions would be appreciated
