Installing 2008 printer drivers with all operating system drivers

How do I install a printer driver on Windows 2008 so each subsequent client that connects to the printer automatically installs the correct driver for its version of the operating system. e.g. windows xp, Windows 7.

The particular driver that im working on at the moment is a HPc2025.

You can also use Group Policy to deploy - in User configuration > Policies > Windows settings > Printer Connections.

To do this just install 32 bit drivers for the printer and to load 32 bit print drivers on the server select the HPc2025 printer > Properties > Sharing > click on Additional Drivers > select the x32 and hit OK, that should open a browse window, navigate to your 32 bit drivers and hit OK twice.
