Hi. I have Vista 64-Bit and I can't install 32Bit printer driver for sharing on the network. Under printer sharing, in the adicional driver I select x86 driver and then it ask me for ntprint.inf under i386 folder. I already point to the ntprint.inf in XP CD and it doest install, then tried the ntprint.inf in Vista 32 DVD, doesnt work. I tried the i386 folder on the other computer and still can't install. Tried to point to the folder containing 32Bit HP driver and still doesnt work. How do I install the 32Bit driver for Printer sharing under vista 64.

Go to the HP site and see if a 64 bit Vista driver is available.

I have the 64Bit drivers installed. I need to install adicional 32Bit drivers for print sharing. And I can't.

Might have to go to the 32 bit machines and install them locally.
I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.

I can install the 32 bit drivers on other machines. But if i have the 32 installed on the sharing features the other machines are capable of installing the drivers themselves.

Yea, but you don't seem to be able to install them on the host system. Better to have them locally anyway. How many machines we talking about anyway?

Not many! 5 or 6 machines! I shared the driver on the network! I just wanted to try that feature of having the x86 driver on Network Print share.
