Windows Server 2003 R2 32bit Print Server supporting Vista 64 bit
Hank - Unless you have the original disk from the printer - and I'm guess it doesn't have drivers for Vista - you're best bet is going to be to switch to the universal print driver on the 1300. It seems that the only 64-bit driver that HP is making available is the UPD - you can determine if PCL5, PCL6, or PS is the best for you. If the driver names don't match, you can't install the 64-bit driver on the 32-bit system - it won't regonize it as a valid driver. I know, I'm having the same problem with every one of my printers on my 32-bit Server 2003 systems (about 150 print servers, with an average of 6 printers per server!). All drivers installed are the original drivers from HP, and the only thing they offer for Vista and 64-bit systems is the UPD. I now have to remove and upgrade to the UPD for all of my systems......for about 3 dozen Vista and 64-bit users! -- HaywoodJ

Thanks, I don't have the disk and I'm trying the UPD with no luck either. We have other Vista machines (32 bit) and they seem to be able to point and install. Not so with 64 bit! -- Hank Taylor

Windows Server 2003 R2 32bit Print Server supporting Vista 64 bit
A Remote Procedure Call connection (RPC) is not going to work in this case
since the driver names do not match. You have a couple quick options. 1) Install the x86 Vista driver for this device onto the print server and install a new (or change the current queue to use the Vista driver but HP does not recommend this) queue for the device. When the driver name matches, the x64 Vista machine will install the local driver for the connection. 2) Create a Local Port in the form \\printserver\printer where printer is the share name (avoid using spaces in the share name ) on the x64 machine and use this port for a Local Printer that uses the Vista x64 driver. This basically just copies the formatted for printer data to the share as if you had printed to file and copied the file to the print share. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
