Where to find Sharp AR-405 printer driver compatible with Windows 7 x64 and Windows Server 2008 R2 x64
I want to install the driver on Windows Server 2008 R2 and then deploy the printer to all my Windows 7 x64 workstations. I have already done this with the driver that is supposedly for XP but it doesn't seem to work. Are there any newer or alternate drivers for x64?

PCL5 driver from Sharp site (i have no idea but my sharp site always goes to local site which is in dutch and probably will not help you much)

Just add printer using driver for 64bit zip file
32bit driver is of use for netbooks etc (maybe you get such one day - you will never know)
32bit driver is NOT used by 32bit apps running on 64bit system

If that machine supports PCL I would sugest trying a x64 driver from another manufacturer like HP. Maybe chosing from the HP PCL drivers already included with the windows operating system.
Microsoft HCL provides signed PCL5 driver. No alternate approach needed.

It's working! The only thing that I did differently was change the port to 10001. What made you think to have me manually set a port like that?

I scanned it, but wasn't convinced and decided in my infinite wisdom not to try it. So thank you for reiterating it.
You are welcome.

Isn't that the truth. That's why I chose not to be an IT professional. I've done it in the past but enjoy coding more since it's *sometimes* a more controlled environment.
You could try to get it working with a generic driver....
