Hello Brad,

Have you checked this:

I suggest you post this to:

microsoft.public.windows.server.clustering

Yes I installed the 32 bit drivers as additional drivers.

Hello Brad,

What do you mean with loaded on the print spooler? Did you add them
as additional driver under the printer properties?

We recently installed a 64 bit file and print cluster. On the print
spooler I have both 32 bit and 64 bit drivers for each printer
loaded. On all of my 32 bit clients (XP SP2), they download drivers
causing Event ID 20 to be logged each and every time they access a
printer. I have also noticed that if I am looking at the properties
for printer A that it will download drivers for printer A, B and C.
This is causing quite a bit of lag when accessing the printers and
is particularly noticable for our wireless network users. Does
anyone have any idea where to begin looking for an answer to this?
I have seen several items posted on the web for this but no one has
come up with any absolute solutions.

What does the client computer do to determine if a driver should be
downloaded? I have compared the driver date and version keys in the
client registry with the values stored on the server and they match
exactly. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
