hi guys<br />
<br />
recently we installed a server 2008 64-bit machine and installed printer drivers from the relevant printer correctly. Everything works fine from Windows 7 Pc's. However, when trying to add the network printer from a Windows XP (32-bit) machine, we get an error saying that the correct drivers are not installed. <br />
<br />
I tried installing 32-bit drivers on the Server 2008, but it wouldn't allow me saying that they're incorrect. So, the question is how do you get the windows xp PC's to connect to the printers installed on the Server 2008 without these errors?<br />
<br />
Many thanks<br />
