How to Install Printer Drivers for Different Processor Types

SUMMARY

Because RISC and x86-based computers use different printer drivers, you may want to install printer drivers for both platforms on your print servers if your network contains a mixture of RISC and x86-based computers. For example, when a RISC-based Windows NT computer connects to an x86-based Windows NT print server, the RISC version of the printer driver must be available to the RISC-based computer. You can install the RISC printer driver on either the local computer or on the x86-based print server. If you install the driver on the server, it will be available to any other RISC-based Windows NT computer on your network.
