Need to export windows 7 x64 builtin printer driver to a x86 print server

Hi,
We're planning our migration to windows 7 x64. But our environment doesn't have a x64 server neither a Server 2008; we only have x86 server 2003.
We are having trouble with printer Konica Minolta Bizhub 161f. I spoke with Konica support, they advised me they do not have a x64 driver for this model yet. The tech told me i can use the
HP LaserJet Family PCL5 driver built-in windows 7. I connected the network printer and selected the built-in driver from the list. So far this works as a charm.
Here's my concern, in order to upload x64 drivers to a 32bit server, i need to first to connect the printer from the print server to my x64 computer. But when i try this, i don't have the
prompt to select a driver from win7 built-in drivers. When i choose connect to... it asks me to locate a INF file on my computer. I don't have the INF file since its built-in windows. I tried to look within Windows's file system, under "Windows\INF\" but i
couldn't find what i need.
1. How can i export or find a built-in driver file within windows 7?
2.Is there is a better way to upload x64 drivers to a 32bit Server 2003?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Regards,
Benoit

Hi Benoit,
Thanks for the post.
Here is how we find the built-in driver file within Windows 7:
1. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows X64\Drivers\Version-3\{Printer Driver Name}, in the right panel, check the value of "InfPath". Now we will get the specific path of INF file.
2. On a x32 Win2k3 server
Click on Start, Control Panel
Double click on Printers
Press the ALT button
or
Click on Organize, Layout, Menu Bar
Click on File, Run as administrator, Server Properties...
Click on the Drivers tab
Click on Add...
Click on Next
Uncheck the 'x86 Type 3 - User Mode'
Check the 'x64 Type 3 - User Mode'
Click on Have Disk...
Click on Browse... (to the x64 Win7 machine)
\\X64Win7\c$\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\prn*.inf_{GUID}
For example:
\\X64Win7\c$\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\prnhp001.inf_5fecfc5e\prnhp001.inf
Click on Open
Click on Ok
Under "Printers"
Select the print driver that you want to install
Click on Next
Click on Finish
Now you should be able to see the x64 print drivers installed under the "Processor" column.
Click on Close
In this case, we need to pay attention to the match of INF file name. As the Konica Minolta Bizhub 161f 32-bit printer driver has been installed on Windows Server 2003, but you try to install HP LaserJet Family PCL5 64-bit printer driver. The two INF files
will not be the same, which causes the x64 driver can be instaled as an additional driver. So we need to change the INF file name to match the 32-bit one. I cannot guarantee that the method can totally work on this case as it may involve some custom settings
from printer manufacturer. If needed, I suggest you contact Konica Support when you go through it.
Hope this helps.

Need Drivers for windows 10 x64

Hello, I need the proper drivers for windows 10 x64 for my probook 450 g1 laptop. I got the drivers from this page: http://us-support.external.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=5405166&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4192all the drivers are not present here like display, hot keys etc. So it will be very helpful to me if someone helps me to get those drivers.

T60p Windows 7 (x64) Atheros WiFi driver issue

Hello,
The new Windows 7 supported Access Connections driver support matrix says the Microsoft provided Atheros driver is the one to use with Windows 7. However, I can't get this driver to connect on a T60p. I tried with two access points (Linksys and Apple) with security all the way off and all the way up through WPA2-Personal (AES). No dice.
This is on a system that used to work just fine under XP (x86) and the lenovo provided wireless driver.
So I then tried the Lenovo provided Vista X64 Wifi drivers under Windows 7 and the WIFI seemed to work fine except for a resume issue (see below).
I verified this state of affairs on two separate T60ps.
Question(s):
1) Am I losing out on anything by using the Vista x64 drivers under Windows 7?
2) Does Lenovo know about this issue?
The reason I believe this is not an optimal state of affairs is that I had an issue when I resumed from sleep or hibernation. The wireless network would not reconnect. After a reboot, it would connect just fine. I trolled around the net and found a solution to this where you put the minimum CPU speed to 100% under advanced power management in the control panel. After that the Vista driver does fine when resuming. But this makes me feel like I'm burning battery for no good reason other than to prevent an issue for when I resume from sleep/hibernation.
Any ideas?

Go into Device Manager and check the The Power Management Properties of the Atheros Network Adapter. Look to see if the adapter is powered off during sleep. You might try keeping it on and then see if you can lower the other power settings.

Windows 2008 x64 TS Printing - The data area passed to a system call is too small

Hi,
I have a Windows 2008 TS using Easy Print. The server has two quad core cpu's with 16Gb of ram and is running a light processing accounting program for 80 users. The machine and easy print both work fine until the server reaches about 5Gb of memory in use. Once this happens user's documents stop printing with event id's 6161 The data area passed to a system call is too small being logged. None of the hotfixes seem to be applicable to my scenario as I am not getting the common "Access Denied" error. I have increased received and transmit buffer sizes on both NIC's to the 2048 maximum, and set the Sizreqbuf setting in the registry - to no avail.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
The Event error 6161 is caused by one of the following conditions:
The printer is not reachable on the network
Windows cannot allocate sufficient memory
There was invalid or incomplete data received by the print spooler
A driver upgrade failed
There is a bad printer device driver
For more information, please refer to the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773865(WS.10).aspx
In this case, I assume that this issue may be caused by the insufficient memory.
In Event Viewer, examine the event and look for the following text: "Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 8. Not enough storage is available to process this command".
If so, please collect system information for 60 seconds and generate a System Diagnostics Report:
Open an elevated Command Prompt window. (Click Start, point to All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.)
At the command prompt, type perfmon /report and then press ENTER. Reliability and Performance Monitor will start collecting data to create the System Diagnostics Report.
When the report is ready for viewing, locate the Diagnostic Results section of the report, and then check for any warnings (indicated by Warnings in the report). You can follow links to additional help on resolving warnings from this section. In addition, you can expand each category in the Basic System Checks section to see more details about why warnings appear. Also, the Performance section provides process-level details about top consumers of resources. You might need to increase the size of the paging file or add physical memory.
Thanks,

Cannot print Snow Leopard - Windows 7 x64 Shared Printer

I need to configure printer sharing between a 64-bit Win7 Ultimate dektop and a Macbook Pro laptop running OS X Snow Leaopard (10.6). I have followed all of the conventional wisdom I can find on the net without success.  All updates applied to both systems, latest printer drivers on both.  Both systems in the same homegroup on the same subnet. IP addressed assigned via DHCP but preconfigured at the router -- essentially, fixed.  I've tried this with AV and firewalls on and of on both machines; same results
File sharing works in both directions  Win7 configured as follows:
All Print and Document Services Enabled Printer: Canon Pixma MX700 connected via USB
Share This Printer on for both printer and FAX (it’s a MF printer) Network discover: on File & printer sharing: on Anyone with network access can read/write Media streaming: off Enable sharing for devices that use 40- or 56- bit encryption Password protected sharing: off Allow windows to manage homegroup connections Network profile set to Work  Snow Leopard configured as follows:
System preferences->Print&Fax->Add Printer->Advanced
Add printer
Type = Windows
URL= smb://user:password@workgroup/cptrname/MX700 -or-
URL = smb://user:password@workgroup/192.168.1.10/MX700
Print using: Chhose a Driver or Printer Model: Camon Pixma MX700
The printer configures successfully and I can queue print jobs from the Mac. It shows up in the appropriate print queue on the Windows machine as Remote Downlevel Document and hangs in Spooling state. The only way to delete the document is to reset the print subsystem on the Mac.
I also tried unchecking “Enable bidirectional printing” under the printer properties on the Mac to no effect.

Your issue is with the Canon driver. It cannot be used on the Mac when you have the Canon inkjet shared by Windows. For these types of connections, you need to use an alternate driver, such as the Gutenprint driver set.
The only problem with Gutenprint is that your MX700 is not listed as a supported printer. So, you could spend hours trying to find which of the other Canon models that are supported by Gutenprint will work to your printer. Or, you could look at purchasing PrintFab.

I have been told that my laptop (HP DV-6) needs a new hard drive. Looking at the steps, I am willing to do this myself, but I was also told I need to buy another copy of windows?
Is this true or can I use the key that came with my original disk?

Is it okay to do a bare metal Linux Mint 17 install, or do I need to keep Windows 8 on my SSD drive?

I will be installing a new Samsung EVO SSD drive in a new T540p. I really don't use Windows anymore, so I'm wondering if I have to keep Windows 8 on this machine and set up a dual boot with the new Mint 17 on the new SSD - or - can I just install the Mint on the new bare metal SSD? Can I do this and still have UEFI too? I'd prefer that. It would just be Mint 17 on the UEFI SSD.
Or is this a crazy idea? My old computer is dual boot and I just don't use the Windows OS anymore. It's just uselessly using up my drive space.
Solved!

The T540p is a really nice machine. I have Windows 8.1 running on mine. The display is fantastic. I'm sure you will really enjoy yours.

Lightroom x64 V2 & 3 fail to print in Windows 7 x64

In Lightroom x64 v2.7 on Windows 7 x64 when printing, Lightroom hangs and seems to loop forever. Sometimes locking up the system requiring a power off reset.
Lightroom 2.7 x86 on Windows x64 prints without a problem.
Lightroom 3 x64 (Trial mode) prints, but does not actually print the image. It does print the stroked border/background and identity plate, but no image. Just a very nice white page with the identity plate.The Beta version printed perfectly.
Is there a fix for Windows 7 x64 and Lightroom x64?
Or is the blank image printing a restriction in the trial copy?

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

Trying to install Accurip printer driver on Windows 8 x64

Hi there,
I have a driver for an Epson printer 4880 that I am trying to install on Windows 8 x64. The driver works fine on Windows 8 x32 but will not work on x64.
When I select the printer it asks me to point it to the driver location, which I select the .inf file for it and it appears to install. However it takes me back to select the printer and continues to go in that continuous loop.
I have checked the %windir$\inf\setupapi.devl.og and it appears to quit at Driver package failed signature verification.
Could somebody provide some help as to how I could get this to work?
Thanks

Hi,
Which driver did you use? I checked Epson official site, found this type of printer had Windows x64 driver. Please download and install it for test.

Is your print server already configured?
If it is already configured and working on other computers then you just need to add the printer port on Windows 7.
If you know the IP address of the print server then follow this link to add printer port on Windows 7 computer.

Adding x86 printer drivers to x64 print server

When attempting to install X86 inbox print drivers to an X64 W2K8 print server, the drivers are not found. Where do I locate the X86 inbox print drivers on an X64 W2K8 Server?Tyler McLaughlin

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Please understand that we need to manually install 32bit drivers on a Windows 64bit 2008 printer server since the 32bit drivers are not stored on 64bit server.
In this case, I suggest we first contact the printer manufacturer to check if the appropriate driver is available. If so, please download it to the printer server.
After that, please try the following two methods to install the additional printer driver.
Method 1 (Preferred):
Step 1. Share a x64 print queue out
==============================
On the x64 Windows Vista RTM/SP1 or a x64 Windows Server 2008 RTM
Login with the Domain Administrator account or Local Admin account
Click on Start, Control Panel, Printers, Press the ALT button or Click on Organize, Layout, Menu Bar
Click on File
Click on Run as administrator
Click on Add Printer...
Choose "Add a local printer" or "Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer"
And go through the rest of the steps to install a printer and make sure that you share it for example PrintShare1.
Step 2. Add the x86 print driver
==============================
On a x86 Windows Vista RTM/SP1 or a x86 Windows Server 2008 RTM
Login with the Domain Administrator account
Click on Start, \\x64W2K8 PrintServer (or a x64 Vista acting as a Print Server)
Double click on "Printers"
Right click on the PrintShare1
Click on the "Sharing" tab
Click on the "Additional Drivers..."
Check the box for 'x86 Type 3 - User Mode'
Click on Ok
Click on Close
Method 2 (Alternate):
On a x64 Windows Vista RTM/SP1 or a x64 Windows Server 2008 RTM
Click on Start, Control Panel
Double click on Printers
Press the ALT button
or
Click on Organize, Layout, Menu Bar
Click on File, Run as administrator, Server Properties...
Click on the Drivers tab
Click on Add...
Click on Next
Uncheck the 'x64 Type 3 - User Mode'
Check the 'x86 Type 3 - User Mode'
Click on Have Disk...
Click on Browse... (to the x86 (32-bit) machine)
\\x86W2K8\c$\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\prn*.inf_{GUID}
or
\\x86Vista\c$\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\prn*.inf_{GUID}
For example: \\x86W2K8\c$\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\prnhp001.inf_5fecfc5e\prnhp001.inf
Click on Open
Click on Ok
Under "Printers"
Select the print driver that you want to install
Click on Next
Click on Finish
Now you should be able to see the x86 print drivers installed under the "Processor" column.
Click on Close
For your reference, here is some useful information about managing printer driver.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732946.aspx
Does it work?
If this issue still persists, please collect the MPSReport from the Windows 64bit 2008 printer server.
1. Download proper MPS Report tool from the website below.
Microsoft Product Support Reports
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=CEBF3C7C-7CA5-408F-88B7-F9C79B7306C0&displaylang=en
2. Double-click to run it, if requirement is not met, please follow the wizard to download and install them. After that, click Next, when the "Select the diagnostics you want to run" page appears, select "General", <and other necessary catalog>, click Next.
3. After collecting all log files, choose "Save the results", choose a folder to save <Computername>MPSReports.cab file.
Please send the files to me directly at [email protected]
Hope this helps.

Printing to a Print Server from Leopard

I am a new Mac user, but have been in the IT for a long time. I have a Troy200 wireless print server at home that connects to Brother HL-1440 laser printer via a USB port. I print from all my Windows workstations to the Brother wirelessly. The way printing is set up in Windows is as follows: The HL-1440 driver is assigned to use a "Standard TCP/IP Port". The IP address of my Troy200 print server is 192.168.200.10. The Port Settings in Windows are configured for "Raw", and the Port Number is 9101. The Troy200 has the ability to work with up to 8 USB-based printers when a USB hub is used. I don't use a USB hub -- I connected my Brother HL-1440 directly to the Troy200's USB port. The first USB device connected to the Troy200 uses TCP port 9101.
I have absolutely no problems printing from Windows to the Troy200 print server. However, I can't get printing to work from my new Macbook Air running Leopard 10.5.2.
I select the IP Printing option on the Print/Fax confuguration applet in System Preferences. There are three options there: IPP, LPD, and CUPS. I tried both IPP and CUPS, and using the "192.168.250.10" address as well as "192.168.250.10:9101". Then I select the driver from the drop-down list for my printer "Brother HL-1440". When I try to print, all I get is a jumping printer icon on the dock.
The problem is that I need to be able to specify TCP port 9101. I can't find a place in the printer configuration utility where I can enter the TCP port number. Again, using "192.168.250.10:9101" doesn't work.
Also, there are actually two printer drivers for the Brother HL-1440 listed among printer drivers in Leopard. One of them is a "gutenprint" driver. I tried both of them, and neither one worked. Actually, when I go to the status page on my print server after I try to print from Leopard, the status of the printer is "sleep". So, it doesn't appear that the print job from sent from my Macbook Air even hits the print server.
I can ping my print server from my Macbook Air, and I can even http to its admin pages. So, the network connectivity is fine.
Please help the newbie!

you should start a new thread, you'd have a better chance of getting an answer. I'll try to answer your question.

Greg,
I'm running Panther Server 10.3.9 in a vLAN with 16 OS 9 clients. They all print to 2 Xerox Phaser 6200 and 6250 network printers. I am unable to print to either one. I have limited desk space so a USB-attached printer, while more convenient, is impractical. When I run Classic from the Server, I can print to the Phasers.
that means that OS X is seeing the printers. When you print in Classic, what happens is that the Classic drivers (LaserWriter 8) hands off the print jobs to the appropriate OS X drivers, which do the actual printing.
I can connect to administer them both with a browser.
this definitely means that you can see the printers.
I have all the drivers I should need (new re-installs), but print jobs stop every time.
Does this mean that the drivers are installed and are visible in Print & Fax?
Is there a log file or some way I can see why these jobs fail?]
There are logs, some of which are visible in CUPS using the browser.
What error messages are you getting?
Do you have any pearls of wisdom?
Thanks

HP C309a set-up with wireless print server

My HP C309a wireless radio no longer seems to work (run diagnostics, reset to factor defaults, etc, over and over without luck), so now I'm trying to set it up with a Linksys Wireless-G print server (WPS54G). I've gone thru all of the linksys print server set-up steps, but the wireless connection fails. I turned off the wireless radio on the printer, but are there other steps I need to take to get the wireless print server to work with this printer? Thanks.

Have you reset the printer - turn it off, hold # and 6 keys while turning back on. This can sometimes reset the wireless radio....sometimes not.
Honestly, I don't know a lot about wireless print servers other than they are hard to set up and its best if the server and your router are made by the same company - and that they usually only support printing.
Another off the wall option is to use powerline Ethernet (google it). This uses the power lines in your home to transmit Ethernet signals.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
