2008 R2, file/print server, xerox global print driver, won't load x86 driver
Have a fresh new xerox 2008 R2 server. Installed and shared printer with x64 drivers however have not been able to load x86 drivers. Done through the sharing TAB and clicking on the add additional drivers button. Have pointed it to the driver downloaded from xerox, the i386 folder for XP etc... What is the catch?
