Error 0x00000242 when adding x86 printer to x64 Server 2008 Print Server
we attempting replace several printers on our network , i'm working on updating drivers. x64 driver updates server going fine. however, when attempt add x86 print drivers 32-bit client, experiencing problems. here details of process
server - windows server 2008 x86 sp2
printers (though believe unrelated), switching older laserjet 4100 printers kyocera fs-1370dn printers.
client - have tried using vm using windows vista sp2 32-bit, vm using windows 7 sp1 32-bit, , local network client natively running windows 7 (no sp) 32-bit.
i create console , add print management snap-in connecting print server. navigate installed printer, , "properties" on printer. when asks if wish install driver, click "no" can browse later. go sharing tab, , click "additional drivers...". click x86 check-box, , click ok, @ point browse appropriate folder our drivers. drivers begin install, finish, , after finishes, receive following:
"unable install kyocera fs-1370dn kx, x86, type 3 - user mode driver. operation not completed (error 0x00000242)."
i have searched thread error code, in addition standard web searches, , found nothing. out of ideas, , without knowing error code means, cannot go further. @ point, if there manual way of copying in x86 drivers print server can around this issue, great.

arthur,
we have situation fixed --perhaps things have changed in windows print server history not aware of?
our kyocera tech came out, , asked me if i'd checked x86 box under sharing tab --but server side. told him hadn't, because best practices aware of involved installing driver x86 client running print management console.
we tried way, , worked. think error due installing client-side. i'm still unsure how able install x86 driver direct x64 server, though; prompted me location, specified, , let me, unlike in past, i'd errors unsupported processor type.
it fixed, if best practices have changed, i'd interested know.
everyone gets wants. me, wanted sysadmin. , sins --they made me one.
