Cannot add printer - W2008

[ThomasAJ]

It's a PDF printer on another PC on the network.
Had no problems when doing same in W2003.

So I click on 'add printer'; a search is done for printers and it is there;
I select it; then get a message "The server for the 'XYZ' printer does not
have the correct printer driver installed.".

I click OK on the next screen and it will only show INF files.
There are no INF files for this printer anywhere.

If the OS of Server 2008 is x64, you will need an x64 print driver.
