Windows 7 64 Bit Printer Drivers Server 2003

Hi,
  1. Hp Drivers For Windows 7 64 Bit
  2. Microsoft Drivers For Windows 10 64 Bit

I have a Windows Server 2003 with a bunch of Xerox printers set up and shared out to users on a domain environment. Most computers though have Windows 7 64 bit. When I make changes to the printer from the server the changes do not replicate to the Windows 7 computers (they do replicate fine to XP machines. For example, I set printers to print black and white only. This worked for XP machines only - not Windows 7.
I tried downloading drivers for Windows 7 64 bit to those printers but they all failed. When I use these drivers when installing one of the printers directly on a users PC then it will work. Is there any solution or workaround to this?

Print driver installation on 32-bit versus 64-bit servers. 32 Bit printer drivers on a 64 Bit server. Also grayed out in Windows Server 2003 RTM. Jun 30, 2010  On a Windows 7 32-bit client computer, follow these steps: Click Start, and then open Print Management. Right-click Print Servers, and then click Add/Remove Servers. Type the UNC name of the Windows Server 2003 print server. Click Add to List, and then click OK. Note It may take several minutes before data on the remote. If you intend on sharing your printer from a 32-bit server to 64-bit clients, you will need to ensure both 32 and 64-bit drivers are installed at the server. The issue however is that the server will not allow you to install 64-bit drivers.

We have quite a few hp printers and I noticed now they all use the HP Universal printer driver which I added to the printer server (2003 serveR) but when someone on win7 64 bit tries to install the printer they still get an error that says no driver was found on the server for this printer.

I don't have any problems with our canon's and Dells but they supply a driver for each model unlike hp who is going to this universal driver route which frankly I don't like.

If you go to your Printer Properties and look on the 'Sharing' tab, you will find a button called 'Additional Drivers'. Click that. In that dialog you can add drivers for x86_64 and Itanium clients. HP publishes a Universal Driver for 64-bit as well.

In my experience, most HP printers do have model-specific drivers if you look for them.

You need to make sure that the driver versions for the x64 version are identical to those of the currently installed driver. You can't use the 5.5 x64 UPD with the 5.1 x86 UPD. They have to be identical. You also can't mix and match printer-specific drivers with a UPD for the same printer. Again, the drivers must match exactly other than platform architecture.

This isn't a limitation of the HP UPD, you'll run into this for any mixed-arch driver deployment on Windows.

Add HP Universal Printer driver of Win 7 on Win 2003?Problem adding Windows 7 64-bit print drivers to a 32-bit Windows 2003 print server

And for HP printer you can also use separate driver for each printer model.
