> Hello all ... I know this is slightly off topic ... I posted this to the Samba general list a few days ago and no bites.

> Has anyone out there got Xerox 64 bit drivers working in a point and print samba set up? And if so, which Xerox drivers? And which method of driver installation?
>
> I'm at a complete loss. We currently have an environment with 500 + desktops and a couple dozen Xerox workgroup docucolor MFPs that are running fine now with XP clients and a Samba print server. We're moving to Win 7 64 bit clients over the next couple of months and this is going to be a huge stumbling block.
>
> Several months ago I posted a problem I was having installing 64 bit Xerox drivers into a shared samba queue. 32 bit drivers seem to be fine but the 64 bit are a world of pain. There didn't seem to be any resolution at that time and hoping things may have changed in the last few months.

> I've had success with 64 bit HP drivers ... just not Xerox.
>
> When adding the 64 bit driver as an "additional driver" under the sharing tab of the queue of the samba server, it complains, "The specified location does not contain the driver <driver name here> for the requested processor architecture." It clearly is a 64 version, it will install locally.

> As far as "cupsaddsmb" is concerned ... it just doesn't seem to work with 64 bit ... unless I'm doing something wrong ... which is completely likely :)

> If anyone could shed some light on this, it would be immensely appreciated.
