I have windows home server 32 bit which is essentially windows server 2003. I have my printer attached to it. I have added my 32bit laptop no problem to print off of it. however, i can not add the printer on my x64 vista because i need the proper driver. I have downloaded a few drivers off of the net that people said might work but to no success. the printer is an hp deskjet 5550 (been running perfect and great on ink since 2002)

If anyone has any suggestions on this please let me know! I'd really appreciate it.

It's a fantastic WHS support site. If anyone can help, it would be those guys. -
Ive posted there before and they werent very helpful + slow to respond. NBR really beats it hands down

Are you using the HP UPD (universal print drivers)?
-
Hmm...HP says that there are no additional Vista x64 for this model but you have to use the driver integrated(generic?) in Vista...

Have you tried the Microsoft forums?

I found a thread where someone was able to install 64 bit drivers on a client.
