asked on
which printer driver?
Just a quick question.
I need to install a network printer HP LaserJet 3015dn. This will be installed on a MS Server 2003 box so that other PCs can print to it. The PCs in the environment are Windows 7 64bit PCs. So the Server it will be installed on is Server 2003 32bit but the PCs printing to it will be Windows 7 64 bit. Which drivers do I download from HP's site for the P3015 printer. When it says "Select Operating System" on HP's site are they referring to the actual machine I install it on or for the users that will be printing to it? I know if I was to install just a local TCPIP printer on the Windows 7 box it would obviously be Win 7 drivers but I am confused in this case.
Thank you.

The universal driver works for a large amount models. The benefit is that you use the same driver for many models. Just one driver to use.

Would have liked some more assistance.
Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Let me just throw in one more thing. HP also has these UNIVERSAL PRINT DRIVERS as a choice under each printer type. Is there a benefit to just using that? By using that maybe you don't have as many accessory options as if you used the specific model driver?
I appreciate your time.
