When trying to connect to a printer on this server from a 64-bit client (Windows 7), the client downloads the necessary printer driver from this print server, but fails to install it with the error 0x0000007E: Windows cannot connect to the printer Operation failed with error 0x0000007e Error 0x0000007e appears only on 64-bit clients when trying operation failed to connect to a shared network Hewlett Packard printer installed on a 32-bit print server (running on Windows Server 2003 x86 or Windows Server 2008 x86).

The file path is specified in the printer settings on the print server. In our case, it has been spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\hpcpn112.dll, but a library file name depends on the Universal HP Printing driver version. To solve this problem on a 32-bit print server: Open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\ and expand the branch with the printer name (In our case, it is HP Color LaserJet 5550 PCL 6) In the branch of the printer that has faced the problem, delete BIDI branch in CopyFiles section. Note. In a productive environment, it is recommended to previously export the branch to be deleted to a separate reg file. Then you'll be able to roll back to the original settings.
