RE: Installing 64-bit print drivers on 32-bit Windows Server 2003

Hello Luke,
That should be the correct decoration for x64, doesn't matter whether it's
an AMD or an Intel processor.
Look at the strings for the installed printer,
It should match what is in the INI file for the x64 driver.
Send me the inf file if you would also. Remove the online from the email
to get to me.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

<Hi Darrell,
<
<Its for a Xerox Document Centre C450 (I'm in Australia). I checked the
file
<and it is decorated, however it has .NTamd64 decorations and I'm not sure
if
<these are appropriate for an Intel Processor.
<
<Would this mean its a driver intended for an AMD processor? Perhaps Xerox
<supplied me with an incorrect driver (it took them several days to
"locate" a
<64-bit driver for this copier.)
<
<Also, when you say the driver names must match exactly, do you mean the
..INI
<file? Or something else?
<
<Thanks for being helpful, I'm finally getting somewhere.
