Aoe2 Starts But Then Stops

64bit Windows 7 and the shared printer from Windows Server 2003 32bit

An infrequent but problematic case for which the solution is not was really fast:
-Server Windows Server 2003 32bit (x86) Windows Client
-7 Home Premium 64bit (x64)
-shared printer from the server for which a universal driver is installed or proposed for which the driver is not considered valid .

In a first case (Univeral Printer Driver Xerox WorkCentre 5655) 32-bit driver on the server is universal and Windows 7 client accepts it but the operation is problematic: the opening of the only property of the printer generates errors.


In the second case (HP Laserjet 2420D), the server does not have the correct driver for the printer and when they require the driver disk, you specify the x64 version for Windows 7 that the Web Site the manufacturer provides (generic driver, universal!) and the operating system was ignoring him safely on the ground that the driver is not suitable.

One solution:
Create a local port with the name of the queue server eg \\ \\ myserver \\ StampanteLaser and wanted to force the driver without the operating system compatibility or it complains of a set that feels appropriate.
