x64-bit Printer Driver Problem Under Windows 2003 (Terminal Servers)
Friday, 01 July 2005 by Michel Roth
According to ThinPrint, even though migration to the new x64 version of Microsoft Windows 2003 still lets companies run 32-bit applications, it created a new headache for the IT department because 64-bit Windows no longer allows the use of 32-bit printer drivers.

Unfortunately, for many printer models, there are no 64-bit original printer drivers available, and they are not likely to be developed for older printers.

For many businesses, then, the question is whether the migration to x64-bit is worth the necessary additional investment in 64-bit compatible printers or whether it is preferable to stay with the lower performance of the 32-bit version. This situation is especially precarious in server based computing, one of the anticipated main deployment areas for the 64-bit version.
