Adding Windows 7 x64 drivers to Windows Server 2003 printserver

Hello,
I've recently added a HP Elitebook 8530W running Windows 7 64 bit, to a network containing only 32 bit systems.
It's all working fine except I cannot get the printer, a HP Laserjet 4345MX, shared via a HP ML350 server running Windows Server 2003 SP2, working on it.
I have downloaded the appropriate Windows 7 x64 drivers from the HP website (the PCL6 v5.2 package) and tried adding these on the server (through printer properties, sharing, additional drivers, under the x64 box), but it is refusing to accept these drivers (I've tried every .inf in the package).
If anyone could offer any advice on how to get this setup working that'd be great, thanks
Marijn

Windows 7 x64 can't read/install any printer drivers from Windows Server 2003 x64 (AMD64 folder and HP Deskjet 855c)

I read the thread Widows 7 printer
HP deskjet 855c driver about possible installation of HP855c drivers onto Windows 7 x64 from "Windows Server 2003 x64" CD but I didn't have enough luck to succeed with doing it on my laptop. That thread appears to be dead now
as it is marked "Answered", so I'm asking for help here. I have Toshiba Satellite P500 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (http://i55.tinypic.com/2zgth6v.jpg).
Let me tell you first that I don't have access to Windows Server 2003 x64 or XP Pro 64 CD's. However I did some research online, which eventually forced me to learn about the "file sharing". After extensive search I was able to get the copies
of AMD64 folders from Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 with SP2 and
XP Pro 64. The reason that I went also after XP Pro was because I thought that the extra wording "R2 Standard x64 with SP2" in description of "Windows Server 2003" did not reflect the exact name provided by poster
Alan. I couldn't find just "Windows Server 2003 x64" (does it matter?).
Anyway, I followed first the drill with running "printui /s /t2" and disabling UAC, and then in both cases I was able to locate the
NTPRINT.INF file (http://oi51.tinypic.com/9qwvt2.jpg - this image is from XP Pro AMD64 folder) but each time when I
attempted to install the driver, I got the same message stating:
"The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software drive for your device. If the folder contains the driver, make sure it's designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems." (http://oi53.tinypic.com/27yveiw.jpg)
Why aren't there x64 drivers?
During several installation attempts I had the printer connected to or disconnected from my laptop. It didn't make any difference. I must add that for this purpose I had to use different cable than the original one designated only for the
Parallel port in my old desktop with Windows XP. My new laptop with Windows 7 x64 came only with 3 USB ports (plus 1 HDMI and 1 Serial). Because of that situation I bought in advance a new printer cable called “USB to 36-pin Parallel Port Adapter
Cable” (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003A8I75E). I'm not sure, if it will work until I can install the printer.
Besides, nobody talked about this issue yet. I was also playing with the port choices in "Add printer" step; changing from default LPT1 to USB001 with the same negative results.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I was very hopeful after reading positive "case closed" notes there.
Can anyone help me here, maybe by making the necessary files available for download? I'm willing to pay for such assistance or make a donation, if necessary. Seriously. Judging by the large number of views of the original
thread, one could assume that there is a potential demand for such service. It would be more human to pay few bucks for a few driver files than $900 for the whole Windows Server 2003 x64 CD, no? Can Microsoft accomodate me/us, please? :)

I have my HP 855c/driver working on Win 7 Ultimate x64. I used the 'printui /s' procedure and 4 files described above with some minor changes.
I pulled WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB914961-SP2-x64-ENU.exe down from the Microsoft website. Running the file causes the exe to unpack into a temp folder at the root drive. A 'Setup Error' message box is displayed once the file is run. I left this
message box up until I copied ntprint.inf, ntprint.cat, and sp2.cab from the temp folder.
I copied driver.cab from a Windows XP Pro disc. I also needed amd64\stdnames.gpd which was already in my Windows 7 c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 folder.
I created a folder with the 5 files (ntprint.inf, ntprint.cat, sp2.cab, driver.cab, and amd64\stdnames.gpd). This is my 'Have Disc' folder.
I followed the 'printui /s' instructions, first changing the permissions mentioned above and then installing the driver. Next I followed the instructions to add a printer from Control Panel 'Devices and Printers' - 'Add Printer', choosing to 'use an existing
driver' when installing the HP 855c.
I used a slightly different ntprint.inf, size 1570418. The readable contents of ntprint.inf is as follows. Notice the line 'CatalogFile=ntprint.cat' is not included. I tried using the 1570468 version of ntprint.inf; when I did I received an incompatibility

Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 ISO

Bryan -
I'm not sure that replacing the card is an option. It's of the age where the card and the drive cage mate up. I'm not just attaching the drives directly to the controller card.
However..since it's Adaptec, they may well have a working Linux driver. Linux isn't something we deal with much at all in our shop, or any of the shops we interact with.

The hardware is pretty much ancient.

Laserjet CP2025 share issue (64-bit drivers from Windows Server 2003 32-bit).

Hi,
We are migrating our Desktops from XP 32-bit to Windows 7 64-Bit and I'm trying to update all of our printer drivers on our Print Server (Windows server 2003 32 Bit).
I am adding the new drivers by opening up each printers properties on the print server, going to Sharing and then add new driver and directing it to the relevant folder for the 64-bit drivers for the printer.
Every printer (HP, Panasonic, Brother) has worked so far, except for the HP Laserjet CP2025. The Net Express installer doesn't work. Nor do the Universal Printing Drivers (PLC 6). Does anyone know a way around this?
Thank you.

Can anyone help with this? I'm in a difficult position with this. Any help would be appreciated.

Migrating MOSS from windows server 2003 x64 sp2 to 2008 R2

Dear All,
I can't find too much data supporting this issue
all articles says restore farm / migrate IIS / copy and replace 12 hives
I don't believe this is so practical
I need more in depth details like how IIS will be migrated [Should I use web deployment tools]
what about customized solution that modifies the web.config file and deployed as farm solutions will IIS migration tool override the changes on it

Windows server 2008 R2 x64 Authentication failure while try to access Windows server 2003 R2

Hello,
I try to access Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard from Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 standard using integrated windows authentication . And because my application tries to read SQL server i'm getting and error that user is not trusted. Then I tried to open a
simple shared folder on 2003 and none of the users is able to do it. Both servers are part of common workgroup in the same IP range. Using domain is not an option. Migrating 2003 to 2008 is not an option either. The specific DB provider I have to use
supports only windows authentication, so creating user into SQL server is not an option too. I have tested many applications and cases which requires/uses windows authentication and non of the manage to connect.
Any help is very welcome because things are urgent!
Authentication failure

That method in workgroup mode may be a problem.

Cannot print to PDF Printer in Windows server 2003 x64 (Adobe 9 STD)

Hi everyone,
I'm running into a very odd issue. We are using Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 in our environment. Recently, I install the x64 bit version of Citrix on top of Windows Server 2003 x64.
The problem that we are experience right now is that when user open a WORD or EXCEL document and try to print to PDF. The SAVE AS windows shows up to allow users to save, but nothing happens afterward. In another word, no PDF file is created.
However, if I ask the user to right click on the file (in windows explorer) and choose Convert to PDF, then the conversion go through.
Do you know a fix for this?

You might read the EULA and confirm the issue I have mentioned. I might not be correct in my estimate, but just gave a sounds like opinion. If it is a violation, then removing it is wise. Typically, Acrobat must be installed on each individual machine. There are multiple license options and server options, but you would need to contact Adobe for more information on those areas. Hope you can get them to talk to you in such a case.

BPM and SOA will Support Windows Server 2003 R2 x64

Hello All -
Can you please tell me, BPM and SOA Suite (10g and 11g) can support the following Server?
Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 Edition Service Pack2.
Thanks in advance.

Here's where you can find the compatibility matrix for Oracle BPM 10g with platforms, operating systems, JVMs and databases: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bpm/obpm-config-matrix-085247.html#bpms1032
Getting the same compatibility information for Oracle BPM 11g proves a bit more difficult. The closest I've come to finding a similar list is when I went to http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/E18558_01/fusion_requirements.htm. Sure others will have fond an easier route to the information for 11g.

How to install Oracle 9i (9.2.0.2) in Windows Server 2003 x64 - Intel Xeon

I have tried to install Oracle 9i (9.2.0.2) in Windows Server 2003 x64 Enterprise Edition with Intel Xeon (EM64T) processors.
When I run setup.exe I get an error: "The image file C:\Documents and settings\administrator.SERVERNAME\my documents\92021 win64_disk1\setup.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine".
I have to install Oracle 9i in that server but I can't run the installation. Is there a way to solve this problem, is there a patch that can solve this? Anyone know something about this problem?
Thanks a lot!!!
I'm desperated!!

Hi,
reply to my own question:
In the docs provided with the downloads for Oracle Database Server 9i x64, I found that this version requires either
- Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition for 64-Bit Itanium 2 Systems
or
- Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition for 64-Bit Itanium 2 Systems
So I guess, the only X64 platform being supported under Windows Server 2003 (both Datacenter / Enterprise Editions) is Itanium CPUs ...
... though this is not (!!!) clearly stated in the download link (other/newer versions are listed more precisely - I guess it's a matter of an old link: no Intel Xeon / AMD Opterons were available (???) when Oracle 9i database server was published).
So I'll give it a try with 10g database server ;-)))

Thomas Heß

JDK 1.4.2 version for Windows Server 2003/x64 on Intel Xeon 64 bit processo

Hi,
I'm currently installing a SAP Netweaver Server on a Windows Server 2003/X64 (Intel Xeon CPUs).
The server requires a JDK 64 bit with minimum version 1.4.2_09. Version 1.5.0_00 and higher are not supported by SAP.
I have searched on the J2SE 1.4.2 download page and I haven't found any windows 64 bit except for Itanium processors.
SAP mention clearly on its web portal that it supports Windows Server 2003/X64 64bit with Sun JSE 1.4.2 64 bit.
Any help?
Thanks,
adaif

Hello,
I ran into the same problem searching for the 1.4.2 JDK for Windows x64 platform and found this discussion post. It was helpful!
Could you tell me where to download the JCE policy files from? Do they need to match the same JDK version (1.4.2)?
The Install Guide for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 Java on Windows MS SQL Server says to download the JCE policy files for your platform (Windows x64) from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads. But I could only find jce_policy-6.zip. Is that the right JCE policy files for Windows 2003 x64 64bit platform for SUN JSE 1.4.2 64bit?
Thanks,

Windows Server 2003 drivers for Lenovo Essential B590

Toshiba has never supported mobile computers for any version of Microsoft Servers and never offered any driver for it.
I can understand you need it but with this you are on your own but you can try to install WXP drivers but I think Satellite A500 is not even WXP supported.
It wont be easy job for you.
