Can I assume from this that Windows 64 bit clients are not supported ?

If so are there future plans for development of CUPS to enable support ?

Regards

However, we are starting to provide our use base with Windows 7 64 bit clients. I have added the 64 bit drivers to our CUPS print queues (virtual widnows print server queues) but when the 64 bit clients tries to add a print queue to their PC it sits there trying to install the driver and then fails with error 'unable to connect to printer'. Do you have any idea why this is happening ?  Thanks Mark
