32bit Print Drivers on 64bit 2012 server

[the_wuigi]

Hi....I have a 64bit 2012 box that we will be using as a print server, I have 32bit windows 7 clients, do the 32bit & 64bit print drivers on the server need to be "identical revisions" for this to work?

 

Thanks

I'm pretty sure they do and I have always made sure that they are on the print server we manage.

Yes ideally to save any issues.

I tend to use Windows 7 x86 & x64 which does most OS's these days.

Windows 7 x64 on 2012 server side?

[MatthewL]

Yeah frequently use that, most drivers cover all OS and and just have the 32 and 64 bit when you look at the versions for the drivers they are all the same.

 

What machines are you using?

Machines as in Windows 7 pro SP1?

[MatthewL]

Sorry I meant machines as in printers, was going to have a look at the drivers available.
