Not strictly speaking a subject for the list but I'm guessing other people
on the list may have seen this so...
I have two virtual x64 2008 SP1 print servers. I've manually installed some
x86 and x64 drivers on one of the servers and I'm attempting to use the
PrintBRM tool to replicate drivers and queues between the two printers.
The export process runs fine but when I attempt to import the file to the
second server, the x86 drivers all fail. I've got the following event on the
destination server:
****************
Printbrm.exe (the Printer Migration Wizard or the command-line tool) could
not restore driver <xxx> (Windows NT x86) while restoring print queues from
a file. Error reported: 0x80070661. This installation package is not
supported by this processor type. Contact your product vendor.
. This can occur if the driver requires a file that Printbrm.exe did not
back up or if the user does not have permission to install drivers on the
destination computer.
Event ID = 37
******************
Its not a permissions issue as I've tried this as a domain admin. I can only
think that the export isn't taking the x86 drivers with it or the import
doesn't like the x86 drivers.
As I say, I realise that this isn't strictly a thin topic but I'm hoping
that there's someone out there with experience of x64 2008 print servers who
has hit this issue before...
Thanks
Chris.
