x86 driver nightmares on serfver 2008 R2


wow cannot believe how ridiculous trying x86 32 bit client drivers installed printer sharing on 2008 r2 server.

unbelievable has not been fixed yet...totally unacceptable in opinion.

after 12 hours of trying 'answered' questions here on problem gave , installed old server 2003 print server.

what joke. disappointed 2008 r2 far.

start getting core 32bit files installed pushing 32bit core files onto x64 server using 32bit vista or ideally windows 7 machine the core driver version same 64bit core drivers in use server.   add 32bit postscript printer driver , pcl printer driver not prompted core files again.

anytime added 32 bit drivers 64bit shared printer, driver names must match.  driver_ps not match driver or driver_pcl, names have same.
