I was misinformed by my users. In fact, setting defaults and printing preferences on the 64b drivers did change the 32b drivers settings.<br />

Thanks for your answers. They are both accurate so split points.<br />

Hi everyone<br />
<br />
We have a Windows 2008 64-bit server that has a printer installed and shared. Both drivers (64 and 32 bits) are installed.<br />
<br />
On the 64-bit server, we set the printing preferences and defaults to black and white only.<br />
<br />
When a 32-bit client installs the printer (\\servername\printer), he constantly print in color.<br />
When a 64-bit client installs the printer same way, he defaults to b/w.<br />
<br />
So my question is: how to set the printing preferences of my 32-bit driver on a 64-bit server?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

How can I modify 64-bit driver printing preferences on 32-bit computers

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
