Multiple Print Drivers For One Printer
I am trying to figure out how to configure my print server to hold multiple print drivers for one printer. For instance I would like for my computers to search in the directory, find a printer (we will call it HP PRINTER) and download the correct drivers for it. Say for instance my print server is sharing a printer and placing it in the directory on IP address 192.168.1.55
I would like for a Windows XP, 7, and 7 (64 bit) to install the printer without having to find their own. I am having trouble doing this it seems. I get the initial Windows XP drivers installed just fine, but I am having problems getting Windows 7 64bit installed. Also, I am running the printer server on Server 2003

Mitter, there are no printer folders... I see printers I've shared, but no folders

I figured it out, and it is truly the most backwards way to install a 64bit driver or to share drivers. But its fixed.

I install the printer initially with Windows XP 32 bit drivers and it prints just fine. I can also install it with Windows XP 32bit clients. But, when I try to install it from the directory with a Windows 7 64bit machine it says it cannot locate the drivers....
