I have a all in one 3030 printer.It is in the office on our local net work the PC it is plugged into is a windows 2000 PC. Now i cant print on it. I'm running Vitsa x64. I go onto the network find the printer and right click on it and go connect. It asks for an unknown INF file. I really need to get this working. I have downloaded the latest drivers for this and i cant get it to work. ![]() -- Talen |

When the "print server" computer is 32 bit and the "client" is 64 bit, you
have to get the 64 bit version of the driver installed on the client. There are a few ways to do this: 1. install it as an "Additional driver" on the "print server" - see http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/AddDrivertoOldOS.htm (instructions are for XP, but the Vista process is essentially the same); then connect to the network printer 2. if the 64 bit printer driver is "in-box" (delivered with Vista), when you connect to the network printer, the 64 bit driver "should" be installed on the client automatically 3. use the workaround described at http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/NetPrinterNoPP.htm If you still have problems, please reply with the printer make and model ("3030", but which manufacturer and model type). -- Bruce Sanderson MVP Printing http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
