Windows 7 32- bit and 64-bit printer sharing.
HEllo everyone,
This is the currrent environment.
-Windows 7 32-bit OS is hosting HP CM2320nf and is sharing this printer.
-New Windows 7- 64-bit OS needs to connect to this printer.
I have been on HP's website and downloaded the driver they specify that will work for windows 7 but it will not work. Any suggestions on what generic driver I can use?
Any help is appreciated

I could be wrong, but doesn't the computer hosting the shared printer have to have the 64bit driver installed as well or at least in its repository?
The HP driver won't work where?
That is to say, you know you need to go into the printer properties on the 32-bit machine and set up "Additional Drivers..." under the Sharing tab?...

Yes, I have have tried doing that on the host computer (32-bit) adding the additional 64 bit driver but when I point to driver it searches for an amd driver. I have tripple checked and both computers are intel based

This solution is only available to members.

also, regarding the AMD message you are getting, 64bit architecture is regularly referred to as AMD64. Intel or amd, doesn't matter. I"m not sure the history of it but I'm guessing AMD developed it.

I will need a few more days to take care of this

I needed to use the universal driver, and that resolved my issue.
