64bit printer driver on Windows 2003 server 32bit


hi

i have windows 7 64-bit workstations cannot install shared printers on our windows 2003 32-bit print server

the printers have lexmark x642e,

when users try add printer print server, wizard tries search driver in windows update , gives error driver cannot located, i'm not sure why searching in windows update, because windows 7 contains built-in driver lexmark x642e (the driver located in path "c:\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\prnlx009.inf_amd64_neutral_d4b76afd08f308fb"), after search driver fails gives ability browse driver, tried use 64-bit driver windows 7 downloaded lexmark website, doesn't work, i'm getting message "windows cannot locate suitable printer driver", tried browse "c:\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\prnlx009.inf_amd64_neutral_d4b76afd08f308fb" again i'm getting same message,

i tried install 64-bit printer driver manually on print server windows 7 64-bit workstation using print management, , have managed add driver print server successfully, however, windows 7 workstations still unable install printer print server, though server has 64-bit driver,

i tried open shared printer properties under sharing tab, , clicked on 'additional drivers', selected x64 section , asks driver,

when browse driver downloaded lexmark website or folder "c:\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\prnlx009.inf_amd64_neutral_d4b76afd08f308fb" message "the specified location not contain driver lexmark x642e requested processor architecture"

if try on workstations install printer tcp/ip port , not print server, i'm able use of drivers mentioned above, drivers ok..

 

i don't know else can done, need purchase new 64-bit server if want print server windows 7 64-bit?

please advise,

thanks!

i couldn't find driver same name, edited notepad inf file , changed driver name, gave me warning when tried add the driver driver's  publisher cannot validated (i never seen warning before) , allowed me continue,

this solved problem!

thanks again!
