Windows Server 2008 Dell 5100 printer

I have a windows server 2008 64-bit server..  I installed the Dell 5100cn no problem as a network printer..  It prints fine from the

windows server.. 

I'm tryint to now install the printer on a client Windows XP - 32 bit machine..   On windows 2008 server when I check the box for

addtional drivers for x86 machines..  It askes me to install the drivers.  When I do that I get the following message..  

"The specified location does not contain the driver Dell 5100CN pCL6 for the requested architecture"  I download all the drivers

from the site (windows xp, xp-64 bit, vista, etc.)  I'm not sure why it won't install?

    THE PRINT DRIVER NAME MUST BE THE SAME.  For me I had to use Windows XP 64-bit driver as it was the same name as the XP 32-bit driver..
