Installing additional printer drivers (x86) on Windows 7 (x64)
- by ambrax
I've successfully installed Windows 7 (x64) and drivers for my Canon MP510, and have no problem printing with this setup.
There is another PC in the network running XP SP3, and I want to share the printer so that users of that PC can also print.
On W7 I have the option of installing additional printer drivers for other system architectures (Itanium and x86). I've downloaded the most current 32-bit drivers for the printer, but every time I direct the install dialog to the folder containing the drivers, I get the following error message:
Selected printer driver not found
The specified location does not contain
the driver Canon Inkjet MP510 Printer
for the requested processor
architecture.
Retry Cancel
I'm stumped. I'm absolutely certain that the specified location actually does contain the correct drivers; I've even installed them on the XP system.
I've tried everything I can think of. What am I overlooking?
