Network Printing Problem - Winxp64

[poupouligkas]

Hi everyone,
Here is my problem,
I have a small network with 5 pcs.
There is a main server, working 24/7 with Windows Server 2003, and i have attached a photocopier Toshiba estudio-160 series which is shared to the other PCs.
All the others have Windows XP. BUT I bought a new PC with Windows XP 64-bit.
As soon as i connect the printer to the new PC (via "Add Network Printer"), I get the message that i need to install printer drivers. I downloaded the 64bit version drivers and proceeded with the instalation.
When the instalation finished, (here is my problem), all the pcs in my network couldn't send files to print to the photocopier.
I've searched it through the internet and i found out that the spooler service on the server PC crashes, but i am still searching for a solution.

Does anyone know the reasons about my problem, or even better the solution???????

Thanks

There has always been driver issues with XP 64 bit, you might want to think about using a different Operating System.

I thought about that, and this will be my final solution if i won't find any....
From the other hand i've installed win xp64bit so that i would have better performance, especially on "design programs" such as AutoCad Civil and ArcMap...

Thanks anyway....
