I'm working with a team to migrate a client over to several new
servers, most of which are running Server 2003 x64. Their older
servers were on x86.
90% of the project is routine and not giving us any trouble, but I'm
running into issues with the printers. I'm trying to move their shares
over to the new server (connecting to them via IP address) and running
into issues with lack of 64-bit support by their manufacturers. Most
are HP LaserJets which are working fine. But I've got a couple of
Canons, Brothers, and Lexmarks that don't seem to have ANY x64 drivers
in production for Server 2003 (some have Vista x64).
Now I have absolutely no need to actually PRINT from this server to
these printers. I need only to share out the printer from it and print
from the individual workstations.
One thought from a colleague of mine was to use one of the generic HP
or otherwise drivers on the server, and then add the correct XP 32-bit
drivers in the Additional Drivers section of the printer properties.
Is this, or anything similar, a feasible option? Has anyone gotten a
solution to work for this sort of problem?
Thank you in advance for any assistance you might be able to provide.
