It says the wrong drivers are installed for the printer (which I know isnt true) and tells me to choose from a list. Should I just find the 64 bit driver for that same printer and install it? Would that work? Does having a 64 bit windows on a network of 32 bit machines mean I am going to have tons of problems? I understand that some applications dont have a 64 bit install, but is there a way to install 32 bit apps on a 64 bit machine? Posted by: fixal0t there is a way, it's the wow32 node thing (sorry for the lazy terms) a 64 bit machine should be able to load 32 bit drivers try going to the support page for the printer and loading the 32 bit driver manually on to the 64 bit machine, don't run the software however, just pick the file manually when it asks for the proper driver vBulletin Copyright ©2000 - 2003, Jelsoft Enterprises Limited.
