Printer Sharing, adding additional Drivers


Recommended Posts

I share my printer on my desktop with my laptop.

My desktop is on Windows 7 x86_64. My laptop is on Windows Vista 32bit.

On Vista I could add additional drivers so that x86 clients could connect.

Now for some reason on Windows 7, it just fails. The specified location does not contain the driver series for the requested processor architecture.

Any idea here? Do I need to edit the inf, if so how? Or is this just some crazy bug.

Thanks!

I seemed to have solved it. Apparently Windows does not like to install another driver, unless the name of the printer is exactly the same. Windows 7 calls my printer the "Canon Injket iP4600 series" and the inf called it the "Canon iP4600 series". So I edited the name to be what Windows 7 named it, now it works.
