For some scenario, the printer driver couldn't be installed normally due to the incorrect format. For instance:. The additional driver can't be installed, because the. INF file is like this:.
After modifying it as following, the installation is success. Generally, we can add a X86 driver on X64 Windows system by right-clicking printer driver to choose Properties, and clicking 'addition printer driver' to load a X86 driver. If this method doesn't work, we can try the method listed in my pervious reply.
If these methods still couldn't work, I'd suggest contacting driver provider to ask a universal driver. I hope this helps. Best wishes. In order to add printer driver based on X86 on X64 system, please try the following steps to test the result:.
On any one of the clients machine running bit OS 2. Open the printer required to add the bit driver 4. Go to properties 5. Sharing Tab 6. Additional drivers 7. I hope this help. If this issue still persists, please post back with latest error message. Please try the following steps to test the result:. Is this the only supported way to do this? If so, it seems very strange that logic is built into the GUI to install both platforms, but only the local platform works. This operation is not supported.
Also, in my playing around with this server role, I have with verry little work managed to screw things up a couple of times now. Once my entire Vista32 driver catalog somehow got uploaded from my workstation, and just now when I connected via Remote Desktop a bunch of drivers got put on the server for my local printers.
How are we supposed to manage versions for multiple network printers? It seems that the driver database is fragile and there is no way to select a particular driver version for a printer.
For example, the drivers tab seems to support multiple versions of a printer driver, however when I build a printer and select a driver, the version number is not included in the driver name.
INF on the Windows Media during the installation of the additional driver, simply browse to this location and complete installation.
Now all of my printers HP, Brother and QMS are all fine on my x64 box with x86 drivers Admittedly I have had to build a bit vista machine, but I can at least go home now! Hope this helps someone else! Thanks for all of the infomation on this one.
I would like to add one extra thing We need to programatically add printer drivers to servers as part of the build process and to update servers for updated printers. We will have about servers to maintain, so installing the 32 bit driver using a 32 bit client is out of the question.
We have tried 2 methods to install the printers, PowerShell and rundll PowerShell is the prefered method, however it still doesn't behave the way we want. Here is what we do to install 32 bit and 64 bit drivers on a 64 bit Server First install the 64 bit driver Then modify the registry, add the path to the 32 bit ntprint. PowerShell uses printui. If we could get that working then we would be very happy. I finally found an answer RunCommand "rundll32 printui. That fixes it, we had automated it using scripts, but we were still getting a pop up box for the first 32bit printer driver installed on the server which we used a script to acknowledge.
We are now using the following process to automatically install 64 bit and 32 bit drivers on a server as part of the build process the print queues are setup later. Run rundll32 printui. I ran across a similar problem installing the Xerox Global Printer on a x86 print server.
The x86 driver installed with no issues, but the x64 version asked for ntprint. I followed the suggestions above, but was not able to find a version of ntprint.
I tried Vista x86, Vista x64, x86, x64, and Windows 7 x86 and x I finally got it working by following this procedure. I'm not sure why it worked, but it's worth a go. Installed the x64 driver the problem one on an x64 version of Windows 7.
This installed without issue. Note that it's under System32 even though I'm doing this on an x64 Windows 7 workstation. Imported the driver on the print server from the INF file in this copied folder.
This succeeded and did not ask for ntprint. For some reason that sequence of events worked for me and I'm not able to deploy both x86 and x64 Xerox printers from my x86 print server. I delete the print form windows R2. Are you using the 64bit version of the print driver that has the same name as the 32bit version. The 64bit print server is using a different driver if you migrated a 32bit server to 64bit. In order for the XP machines to sync up properly, a 32bit version using the same name as the 64bit version needs to be installed on the print server.
What is the error message? From the inf files for the driver, what is the 64bit driver name? What is the 32bit driver name? If you just need the ntprint portion of setup start by adding any 32bit driver included in Windows 7 or Vista remotely to the server.
Then try to add the vendor driver that does not include the core driver files. How to add support for printing from 32bit clients to a Windows Server R2 print server. Having read through this lengthy topic I thought I would summarise how to solve the original question asked by TJ Cornish.
The problem occurs when you are trying to install 32bit x86 PCL or PS printer drivers that are based on the Microsoft mini print driver on a 64bit amd64 Windows server. The Kyocera Universal Classic driver is an example of a driver based on the Microsoft mini print driver.
You can tell if the driver you are trying to install is based on the Microsoft mini print driver, by searching for ntprint. When trying to install such a 32bit printer driver on Windows Server R2 which is 64bit only and shares the same code base as Windows 7 I got the following message asking for ntprint. Install Components from Windows media. Please provide path to Windows media x86 processor.
You will only be asked to locate ntprint. So far, a clean upgrade path from x86 to x64 R2 has not been revealed. The intention in my scenario is to be able to have the end users retain all their printer settings, not have to switch all my printers to the HP universal driver or other type items. I am like days away from starting my production builds, AFTER i replace every single system board on my dls cuz the random reboot , and want to know what to plan for.
It will depend on the drivers. If you use print drivers included in and have added the matching x64 drivers from , this does work. Most HP drivers contain private devmode device mode information and it is the responsibility of the new driver to take the previous private devmode and convert to a new devmode.
HP typically has structures in the old devmode that do not match with the new devmode structures and suggest creating a new printer that uses the new driver creating the new devmode structure at this time rather than attempting to upgrade the old devmode information to the new driver.
The demode requires upgrading either both x86 to x64 and OS to newer OS migration. Yes, I know, the drivers in are 7 years old and the printers you use in production are a bit newer so this does not work either. If you currently have R2 installed but not in production, I suggest migrating to a physical of VM machine first. If you have HP drivers and and are replacing with Universal, I'm pretty sure the spooler process memory will get corrupted during the devmode conversion and terminal.
Turning on print driver isolation will assist in that the spooler will not terminate. Restore to the temporary machine.
Add missing drivers or modify the brmconfig. When you have the x64 machine setup as a mirror of the 32bit printer server, backup the machine. This is the file you will use to restore to your new print server. What you have 25 print servers? Now that you have the backup I'd actually confirm the backup works on a clean install , delete the printers and ports from the temporary machine. Don't delete the print drivers, you spent too much time adding them.
Now backup your other print servers. If any of the backups fail error 2 after the driver backup portion, there is a language monitor that has been removed from the registry but one of the print drivers still references it and the solution is in a different post. The only clean upgrade path depends on installing drivers that do not contain large or complex private devmode structures that also have a matching named x64 version.
When is Microsoft going to patch this? First reported in and now July 30th of its still an issue with a fully patched Windows x64 R2 server. I don't have a vista box, and I shouldn't have to share out a Win7 box to get x32 printing functional on a server. I'd love to have a solution for you but the group that releases the product would never let the alternate processor files ia64 and x86 on the DVD. When I tried to add additional drivers x86 drivers in this case it would give me the common: Install Components from Windows media Please provide path to Windows media x86 processor.
This occurs with some x86 drivers and not all. The response by Duncan Clay was right on target and worked very well. All works now and if there were any other drivers that would have had the same issue - they work now. It was easier for me to setup a new print server with 50 printers then to upgrade my old sp1 machine to sp2 then load all the 64bit drivers on it before migrating over to the new system. If I had 's of printers then yes.
Thanks for all the help folks. I have noticed that many of the posts in this thread reference issues with drivers which are WHQL Certified, yet still require a crowbar, a script, Ducktape, and a can of WD in order to get these to work correctly when installed on MS Server As Server x64 is the Premier product offered, and Windows Hardware Quality Laboratory charges these manufacturers for certification, one must wonder why the defensive posture in the official MS Answerer replies?
That said, the ntprint. It seems to me that if it was known that 64 bit and 32 bit drivers would require different versions of the ntprint. This is exactly the sort of poor planning and failure to pay attention to detail that I have been growing numb to for 15 years. I was having this trouble with my Dymo Label printers and this work exactly as stated. I am very happy with the fixes they have implemented and it is now very responsive to all printers in the properties and preferences pages.
I expect to have pretty good success, but I am finding out from my own research that the current operations team may have used HP drivers on some xerox and lexmark printers. So i am writing a vbapp to poll each port listed on the production print servers and query the model from the printer itself for verification. Most of the solutions involve copying x86 architecture-specific files to an x64 operating system in some fashion.
I'm assuming it won't update these xspecific files. Best case everything still works, but I don't get any SP1 fixes for these xspecific files? Worst case something breaks somehow because the xspecific files are still SP0 and the rest of the system is SP1? Just installed the beta SP on the nodes of my print cluster yesterday. Here is the ntprint. Not sure if it is universal but feel free to download and try.
I've been reading through this thread with increasing irritation. We shouldn't be having these problems and shouldn't be putting up with the ugly work-arounds offered here.
Our 64 bit server deployment is waiting for 32 bit drivers and I'm frustrated and amazed at how badly this whole area hangs together or doesn't. All it does is re-prompt me for the same file.
