32 bit printer drivers on a 64 bit platform

[juniper911]

Hello All!!

This is going to sound stupid but I'm guessing you cannot install 32 bit print drivers on a 64 bit windows OS or if you could it wont be able to create the print queue?

Just need confirmation one way or the other.

Thanks as usual for any suggestions/advice.

You should be able to since 64-bit drivers are not that readily available. In any case take a look at the following to see if it helps

A *LOT* of 32bit drivers will not install on a 64bit platform. That's the only reason all of my print servers are 32bit.
