I'm going to have over one hundred of these computers in our pipeline in the next few weeks and we can't afford to replace 32 bit servers with 64 bit servers In Domain if you have stations with x86 and x64 and they both print to same printer you need to have both drivers installed on printer server( on your server). How to add HP 64 bit printers for printers that use universal printer driver to server 2003. Ask Question. It sounds like you're trying to figure out how to load 64-bit drivers on a 32-bit Server 2003 install. Windows 7 64 Bit, Printer Sharing from Windows Server.

I have installed the final RTM version of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on a test system before we begin the rollout in our company.
I'm having problems connecting to several HP printers that we have on the network. These printers are being shared from a Windows 2003 server host.
I have downloaded the lastest HP Universal Printer driver, however I'm unable to add the 64-bit driver onto the 2003 server system (it's 32 bit).
How can I get connected to these printers from the Windows 7 system?

Push the 64-bit driver across the network
- Go to a 64-bit machine on the network and copy the 64-bit driver files to the machine
- From the 64-bit machine, open Windows Explorer and browse to the 32-bit server
- Open the Printers dialog seen via Windows Explorer.
- From the Menu bar, select
File
>Server Properties
, select theDrivers
tab and click theAdd
button. - In the Add Driver Wizard, tick the x64 Processor checkbox, and untick the x86 checkbox.
- Click Next, then click Have Disk and browse to the 64-bit driver on the local 64-bit machine.
- Complete the Add Driver Wizard.
Upon completion the Server Properties dialog should show the x64 drivers installed for that device type

I used the RSAT tools to get Windows 2003 to serve up drivers to Windows 7 x64. But, first, I had to update the driver list. Procedure I used:
-Update Windows Driver Database
![All drivers for windows 7 64 bit All drivers for windows 7 64 bit](https://images.sftcdn.net/images/t_app-cover-m,f_auto/p/6a6a6299-4092-456e-8489-c02a8298664e/1803570081/hp-laserjet-pro-m1136-multifunction-printer-drivers-screenshot.jpg)
- Go to Control Panel -> Devices and Printers.
- Add a new printer, choose local.
- Choose LPT1.
- In the 'Install printer driver' dialogue, click the Windows Update button. This will download the rest of the drivers you expect to see listed.
- Cancel the printer installation, the drivers will not be deleted.
-Install drivers to the server with RSAT
- Download and install the RSAT tools.
- Open the Print Management tool.
- Right-click on Print Servers, choose Add/Remove Server, and add your target print server.
- Under the new server object, click Add Drivers.
- In my case, since I'm on Windows x64, I selected x64, and deselected x86.
- This will bring up the list of drivers installed on your workstation. Choose the driver to install on the server.

Dom's answer got me pretty close.
I needed to modify it as follows.
My printer manufacture had re-designated the name of the printer within the driver. You can only add addition drivers with the same name to one you already have setup.
I had to download both of the new drivers (x86 and x64) and change my orginal printer over to the new x86 driver, then the system automatically added the x64 to it's list. Then I was able to install the printer on my Win 7 machine with no problems.
Thanks for this help!!

I know this is an old question but I just figured out how to do it so I thought I'd post my method for connecting to and printing from Windows 7 64-bit to a 32-bit Windows print server (should be the same for 64-bit Vista):
- ensure you have the proper printer driver installed on your Windows 7 box
- goto printers and devices, add new printer
- select local printer
- use existing port (LPT1)
- select proper print driver
- click next throughout rest of process
- name the printer how you'd like it to be displayed.
- let it install..
- select 'do not share'
- when finished, right click and select 'Printer Properties'
- goto ports tab, click 'Add port..'
- select 'Local Port' and then click 'New Port..'
- type in the exact network address for the printer. ie: printserver01hplaserj
- click OK, then click close
- ensure the new port is selected and click Apply, then close
- test printer. If it doesn't work than you may have an incorrect or incompatible print driver installed
Also, if you're trying to connect to HP printers I have found the HP Universal PCL6 driver to work remarkably well: download here

The easiest way is to download the x64 drivers for that device then rdp to print server and select printers the properties on the printer you want to install then sharing tab and click on additional drivers.Tick the checkbox for x64 Windows XP and widows server 2003then point to the inf file from the folder of the drivers you just downloaded.The when a user clicks on that printer it will ask if they want to install a driver.

Download XP64 bit driver. Go to the server and add 'additional drivers' under Sharing. Click on the x64 and point it to the XP64 bit driver. That should install X64 driver and you should be able to add the printer on any MS 64 bit OS. This works for our Win7 64 Bit OS users (HP P3005X printer).
P.S. I did unzip the driver on the 64 bit PC but that might not matter. It might work as well on the 32 bit hosting printer server.

I have run into this issue before. It comes down to the printer name inside the .inf. The x32 and x64 printer names have to be 'EXACTLY' the same. So, 'HP LaserJet P2015 Series PS' is different from 'HP LaserJetP2015 Series PS'. This drove me nuts for a little while until I learned that and went into the x64 .inf and copied and pasted the x32 .inf's printer name into it. After they are exactly the same then it should work.

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.
