I have had success installing certain drivers on the 2008 64bit server. Just by right clicking in the printer section and selecting server properties, and adding driver. But why when i try to install others i get a type 3 – user mode, x86 driver. operation could not be completed 0x00000002 error. I have tried using PCL 5 & 6 with 2008, and xp drivers, using 32 and 64 bit for each. None of them work.
I am also kind of confused on what bit driver i need to install in the server, for a scenario where the user has a computer and printer, they log into terminal services, and instead of using ts easy print, i install the driver onto the server, so that driver will be used. In one instance, i installed a printer on the server, and only the 64 bit driver was installed. Works, no problem, and these are computers that are running xp that are printing to it. Other printers, i have installed both bit drivers, but the printers were not installed on the server, it works, but i can’t tell if it is using the 64 or 32. When it is all said and done, i can not find anything consistant to figure this out.
Thanks
