Set up printer drivers for Network install

[mscher]

I have a Windows Vista system, that has two printers attached.

If we try to attach and install the printers to another Win 7 PC, we always have to download and install the printer drivers separately. Is there way to install the Win 7 driver on the Vista machine, so other PCs can get it when configuring printer?

Anybody for Alzheimers?

I was in IT for 15 years but could not, remember if it was possible or not. Something sparked me that it was, since I finally remembered that we set up NT 4 print servers to distribute drivers, to PC clients. Obsessivly, I figured it out - quite simple, really.

On the "shared" tab in printer properties, there is an "additional drivers" button. Click the x64 box and when prompted find the proper *.inf file for the drivers to install.

Yeah, one more sucess.
