Or if I delete the printer from my machine and re-add it I get the Window cannot connect to the printer error. any ideas on what can be the issue here? Thanks.

So if your clients are running Windows 7 X64 you would install Windows 7 X64 drivers. You install the drivers the client need.

So I install/update Windows Server 2003 32bit drivers - but do I install Windows Server 2003 64bit drivers OR the Windows 7 64bit drivers? Thanks.

Your client computer will ask for a driver from the server and if the driver isn't found on the server it won't use it. Also, make sure the version number of the 64-bit and the 32-bit are the same on the server. You will probably have to update the 32-bit driver. Hi Bill,

I get this error "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device.(the SAVIN 9060 printer/scanner/copier)If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems". I downloaded the SAVIN 9060 driver for Windows 7 x64 and use the path of the .INF file for Windows 7 x64 but it just won't install right. Are there configurations on the Server 2003 print server that I need to change as well?

Canon will not write 64-bit drivers for this, so I can't use my new Win7 64-bit PC to print to this printer. Is there another way? Perhaps a 3rd party app? Some way to put a passthrough on one of my XP 32-bit machines on the LAN that I can print to from the Win7 computer, that will pass it on to the Canon print server? I've called Canon tech on this, and they say they have no solution, I should buy a new ($25,000) printer.
