Default Windows Server 2008 Printer Driver problems

Hi there, i have a problem with the x64-Bit-version of WinServ2008 Standard.
I wanted to set up a print-server.
Well, i already installed a few dell-printer drivers, x32- and x64-Bit-versions (for win XP, the xp drivers are running under vista as well) and it worked perfectly.

Now i tried to install some x32-bit-driver-versions of the "konica minolta bizhub 250/350 printer". -.-
In the first window of the driver install assistant are 3 checkboxes, to select "x64", "x32" and "Itanium" -usermode for the driver.
But even when i select "x32" (i am sure that this is a x32-XP driver), a messagebox appears and says "you have to install the selected driver remotely from a x32(x86)-Computer by using a driver from type 3 (x32)" (or someting like that, im using the german version)

I allready tried to use some other or older versions of the driver, but it still dosen't work.

What can i do to install it anyway ? Plz help me !

greetings from germany

You're trying to install the drivers that are used for remote machines that are pushed through when connecting the first time to the network printer.

There should be another version of the print drivers for local installtion at the printer manufacturer site.
