Printer Driver Windows 764Bit

Hi all

I have a Windows 2003 R2 32Bit Architecture and Windows 7 64Bit Machines including all the updates. I want to deploy printer driver for my Windows 7 64bit machines at the same time keep the Printer driver for Windows XP 32Bit Machines. But I can't. Sometimes I get the error on the users end (Windows 7), do you want to install this driver message and they can't because these users are not local admins. How and what is the best procedure to go about this. I have a ricoh MP 2000 Printer. Please let me know how to proceed with this.

Thanks

Jos

Hi

Thinkpads_user: If you manually install the driver on the 64Bit Machine it works. But I have over 300 Machines to update. Can't update all 300 of them Manually. I don't want to upgrade the server to the 2008 Server yet since we have live Production servers in use. Doing a migration is not advisable at this stage. Looking for alternative solution.

Thanks for your support.

Regards

Joseph
Windows 7 64-bit is very picky about printer drivers and Windows 2003 server is likely just 32-bit, so short of having several technical people visit the machines, I do not know what else you can do.  

Let us see if someone else chimes in.   ... Thinkpads_User
