How to install 32-bit driver as Additional Driver on Win 7 x64

I have an x64 Win 7 machine with an HP4315 attached via USB. I have a few XP machines that need to access the printer on the X64 machine.
When I "Add printer" and reference the share name on the x64 machine, it attempts to download a driver, which fails giving me an "access denied" error.  This happens even when I had installed the drivers onto the x32 machine as if the printer were locally attached.
Ive seen a workaround that may solve the immediate problem here http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/Unable-to-install-XP-drivers-for-Deskje...
I will try this, but its not the right long term solution as these XP machines will be replaced by Win 7 x32 machines and I may not be around to laboriously apply the workaround again.
Windows 7 x64 provides for this.  I right click the printer on the x64 machine, then  "printer properties" (not "properties"), Sharing and I then get the option to install an x86 driver solely for downloading to x32(x86) machines which want to access the printer. It asks for the location of a folder containing the .inf file for this printer.
Great!  But where on earth do I find a folder that contains the 32-bit .inf file associated with the HP4315 printer? 
I've downloaded the setup file from HP and executed it on the x32 machine running XP, thinking I'd copy the relevant files  and offer them to the x64 machine. But where are the files? What is the .inf file called? Are there any other files needed? 
Ive seen a lot of people struggling with this and no solutions other than the workaround mentioned above.  It would be great if a "proper" method could be described.

Hello colinobj,
I have looked at the link that you have provided that gives the steps to resolve the installation issue. 
Just so you are aware, this is the solution to the issue at hand.  Seeing that XP is on its way of being not supported, this is the best solution that Bob_Headrick has provided.
Thank you.

    If you simply mean a USB flash drive, or a USB hard drive. There should be no installation requirements. If the drive doesn't show up in Finder, you should check whether Disk Utility sees it, and whether the drive has a Mac readable filesystem. Disk Utility can be found with spotight if you do not know where it is.

Also select Remote Printer is on a BSD System. Press OK and the server will install the printer.

    Right click on the printer and and say make default.

  • How to Install 64-bit "Generic / Text Only" print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server?

    Hi All,
    In a nutshell, I need to Install the 64-bit Generic / Text Only print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server’s “Generic / Text Only 32-bit print queue.
    The problem is that there is no Driver-Disk to get the drivers. I’ve been able to isolate 14 files related to the 64 bit drivers from a Windows 7 x64 computer and copy them to a temp folder on the Windows 2003 x32 server. When I try to add the 64 bit driver
    to the Windows 2003 x32 server,  it wants a *.inf file, which I don’t have and can’t find.
    Because Microsoft will no longer support Windows XP, my client is replacing all of their Point-of-Sale Windows XP x32 systems with Windows 7 x64. They use Terminal Services (Remote Desktop) to connect to a Windows 2003 x32 server to use the POS system. The
    POS software redirects LPT1 back to the local Generic / Text Only printer. This works great for XP x32.
    When we use the Terminal Services POS software on the new Windows 7 x64 system, none of the labels print out because it’s redirected in 32-bit back to the local Windows 7 x64 Generic / Text Only 64-bit printer.
    This will be a huge issue for me if I can’t get this to work.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help! -Rob

  • I have windows 7 32-bit in my mac pro but i want to install 64-bit. How can install 64-bit on my existing 32-bit using bootcamp?

    I am trying to install windows 7 ultimate 64-bit on my existing windows 7 32-bit. Can someone guide me with step by step process on how to install without losing data from windows?

    Unfortunately, you can't. Windows has never, ever been able to install an upgrade, or even the same version over itself without essentially destroying the drive.
    Make absolutely sure all of your personal data is backed up, first.
    When you install Win 64 from the DVD over an existing installation, it gives you two choices, both of which stink. One simply replaces all of the standard directories with all new data, fully erasing all third party apps you've installed and all of your settings. The second choice isn't any better. It moves all of the standard directories into a folder named Old Data (or something like that). Which again takes all of your third party software with it, along with your personal settings.
    No matter which lousy choice you make, you have to reinstall all of your third party apps and set everything up again as if it were a new computer. The only thing that's different from a brand new computer is that your pictures and other such data should still be in your user folder. But everything else will be broken.

  • How to install 64 bit Lightroom 2 on Win XP 64 bit

    I read that the default for WinXP is 32 bit, and I really want to install the 64bit version on Win XP 64 bit (not Vista).
    Is it possible to do this? If not then I am definitely not buying it.
    If yes, any instructions on how to force the install of the Trial version to install 64 bit.
    If not, I hope PShop CS4 is made available in 64bit for Win XP 64bit.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Thanks very much!
    Just what I was looking for.
    I will try this out with the Trial version right away.

  • How to install Oracle ODBC driver...?

    TOM,
    Presently, I have oracle client version. But there no Oracle ODBC driver in my PC. But, I want to install only Oracle ODBC driver in my PC for ODBC Connectivity purpose.
    How to install & where can get the source?

    I found out the real answer!!!
    On another thread there was a link to the client 10g installation. I download that 480Meg monster. Unzipped the package and launced the setup.exe.
    You can then install just the ODBC using the custom option. But, it will not install the tnsnames.ora file. If you have ever done this from a VB app, copy the tsnnames.ora over to the \network\admin folder. It's usually under the oracle\product\client\10.0.2\ folder. Once installed you can launch the ODBC administer either from the link Oracle installs or from the control panel.
    Next, you need to make sure the folders where the .dll file is readable to the iis. Change the folder to add whatever permission group you use for iis (I happen to have setup a local users group {machinename\users}. Add them to the entire folder structure (check the embedded folders to ensure they are readable).
    While setting up the ODBC, the TSN names will now be listed from the tsnnames.ora file (if properly located). To make the connection work, the userid should be 'userid;pwd=password'. Otherwise the connection failed for me.
    Now, if your connection works okay from the odbc test connection, it will probably fail if accessing through iis (like from a .asp page). There are environment path variables that need to be set. Reboot the server for them to get set. Otherwise you will get a ODBC driver can not be loaded do to system error 1114 message.

  • How to install jTDS jdbc driver

    I've heard so much about this jTDS driver, and had it with the current jdbc driver i'm using. I'm using slserver 7. i would like to install the jtds driver. I just downloaded the .jar file. how do i install the driver. which directory do i put it in? pls help asap. thanks a million.

    "Install" it?
    The directory you put it in depends greatly on the application that's using it.
    If it's a desktop app, put in in the CLASSPATH for the app.
    If it's a Web app, put it in the WEB-INF/lib directory for your app.
    It's not a cut & dried answer. I don't think one JAR file will necessarily serve all apps. Expect to have duplicates as needed. I do.

  • How to install a JDBC driver?

    Hello, everybody!
    I'm new to Java and I'm trying to install a JDBC driver. So, I downloaded the JayBird,
    a JDBC driver for Firebird, and now I don't know how to install the driver. I keep
    getting this message from the compiler when I try to compile the example that comes
    with the driver:
    DriverExample.java:182: package org.firebirdsql.jdbc does not exist
    d = new org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver ();
    ^
    1 error
    So, in the directory that has the example file (DriverExample.java) I created the
    following directory structure:
    C:\Example\org\firebirdsql\jdbc
    and inside the jdbc directory I copied the driver files:
    firebirdsql.jar
    mini-concurrent.jar
    jaas.jar
    mini-j2ee.jar
    log4j-core.jar
    and I still keep getting the error from the compiler. I just would like to
    know what I have to do to install this driver correctly for the compiler to
    find its packages.
    Below are the instructions the comes with the help to install JayBird, but I
    think that I did everything and it still didn't work:
    ======================================================================
    The classes from firebirdsql.jar must be in the classpath of the Java
    application being compiled, or otherwise made available to your application.
    The classes from the following packages must also be available:
    mini-concurrent.jar
    jaas.jar (included in jdk 1.4)
    mini-j2ee.jar (now including JDBC classes)
    log4j-core.jar (if you want logging available)
    The firebirdsql-full.jar file has all of the needed files in one
    archive for ease of use.
    These archives are included in the binary package.
    ======================================================================
    Please can someone help me?
    Thank you...
    Marcos

    My file (DriverExample.java) is in the directory 'Example' and the driver files are in the directory 'Example\org\firebirdsql\jdbc'
    That's what I did inside the directory 'Example'
    javac -classpath org/firebirdsql/jdbc/firebirdsql.jar DriverExample.java
    And that compiled ok.
    Now how can I specify where the driver files are for the java.exe? Of course I tried:
    java DriverExample
    and it didn't work.
