Installable Options greyed out for Xerox Phaser 4500 on Server 2003 x64

Like the title says...

I go into the printer properties and click on the configuration tab and then the installable options button. All the options show, but they are greyed out. I can not enable the optional duplex unit because of this. I can not print double sided because it can not be enabled.

The printer and duplexer work fine on a Server 2003 x86 server. It seems to be a driver issue, but I have no idea how to fix it. This is the latest x64 driver available from Xerox's web site.

Thanks in advance...

I have been having much the same problem with several of our printers on Server 2003 x64. Have you visited the Xerox website for an updated driver? you may have to try a Universal or XL print driver for Server 2003 x64

You didn't nail it DansDadUK, but you did direct me where I needed to go. I had to set an SNMP community name in the printer driver and the options were no longer greyed out.

Thanks!

I'm having the same problem with my Xerox phaser 5500 It is not greyed out my windows 7 machine and 1 of my XP X64 machines but on the other XP X64 machines they are all greyed out. Not sure how I got the one X64 machine to work because I reinstalled the driver and it just worked. then I tried the same thing on 2 other X64 machines which didn't work.
