Hi All,<br />
<br />
we are in process of upgrading 2003 servers to 2012 servers. the current 2003 server are serving as print server. to eliminate driver concern, we decided to download the latest print drivers (64bits) for 2012R2 and re-create print queue.<br />
<br />
Question is do I need to download 32 bits drivers as well for client machine as they are all win 7 32 bits? or just 64bits printer drivers for 2012 R2 server?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.

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.
