Hi,

I have SBS 2003 with 2 installed network printers. One of them is most
common used and first Windows 7 client on the network cannot install that
printer localy (error 0x00000709).

How can I add windows 7 drivers to existing printer, without removing it
from the server?

Thanks

You didn't say if the Win7 is x32 or x64, but the instructions are probably
similar.

Adding 64-bit drivers to the 32-bit print server:
1. Add the driver remotely to the server from a 64 bit machine.
2. Logon to the x64 machine with a user account that is admin on the print
server. Launch printmanagement.msc, add the print server, go to Drivers
under the server, right click Add Driver.
3. If you must do this from the print server, you will need access to 64 bit
unidrv files. If you have a CD for Server 2003 64bit you can get the files
from the CD in the amd64 directory.
4. The 32bit and the 64bit driver name must match exactly.
5. If that doesn't work, create it as a local printer on the x64 machine,
using a new Local Port. Set the port name to \\ServerName\PrinterShareName.
