Add additional print drivers to Server 2008 x64 Print Server for windows 7 version clients


i have installed 3 tcp/ip printers on server 2008 x64.  when tried install additional drivers windows 7 x86 clients using windows 7 x86 driver package vendor said "the folder specified not contain compatible software driver device".

so figured out wanted drivers server 2008 x86.  did not complain when tried install those.

i'm using new group policy adding/updating/replacing/deleteing printers under computer configuration-->preferences-->control panel settings-->printers

i did test run windows 7 x64 machine printers did not installed.  error message in event logs says
"group policy object did not apply because failed error code '0x80070bcb specified printer driver not found on system , needs downloaded.' error suppressed"

i figured doesn't want use windows server 2008 x64 drivers on windows 7 x64 system.  tried go windows 7 x64 system , install compatible windows 7 x64 driver server 2008 printserver clicking start, run, \\servername\  click on "view remote printers" , adding driver right clicking , selecting "server properties".

this gave same message above error code 0x80070bcb.

what gives here?  server 2008 x64 driver supposed work windows 7 x64?  there way add windows 7 x64 compatible driver server 2008 x64 machine?

thanks.

duh, didn't think try that.  did install driver when tried connecting windows 7 client shared printer.  try group policy forums now.  thanks.
