Re: win2k8 how to install 32 and 64 bit printer drivers

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I try to stay clear of fax. I think it some impedement but I know this
guy....


Yes. 32-bit clients are supported for 64 bit WS08 Fax
Server. As the customer is saying, 32 bit drivers should be
installed on the server.





The following is the procedure to install cross architecture
drivers
:

i. Right click on the Fax printer in "Printers" page and share
the
fax
printer.

ii. Click on 'Additional Drivers' and select the architecture for
which
you want to install fax printer drivers for.

iii. It will prompt for a Setup information file (Inf file) .

iv. Copy the
%windir%\system32\DriverStore\FileRepository\prnms002.inf_*
from a machine of the architecture which you are trying to install.

v. Select the prnms002.inf from the share just copied. (this is
the
fax
printer driver installation INF).

vi. This should successfully install the necessary cross
architecture
Fax
printer drivers in the server.

vii. Check for the presence of the installed architecture
in %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\ directory.

Alan,
Can you provided any help in sharing a 64-bit windows 2008 fax (in fax
server role) so that 32-bit Windows 2003 terminal server client machine
can fax through it?

Absolutely kicking my butt.

Thanks,
Terry Cole
