I have a Reporting Services 2005 server that when users accessed it and tried to print reports would get a message asking them to install the print control, which they could not do because of lack of permission. A work around I had found at the time was to copy the .dll and .rll files to their computer on startup via group policy and then register it. Now we are upgrading to Reporting Services 2012 and the print control has changed and I need to do this again.
I have 3 questions.
I can't locate the .dll and .rll files on my computer to put in a share. Where should I look for them.
I have a mix of 32 bit and 64 bit machines. Will this make a difference in what files I need?
Will the script below otherwise still work?

regsvr32.exe /u /s rsclientprint.dll

Update
I modified the above script to the following and placed the x86 and 64 files in different folders.
These files were extracted from the c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin\RSClientPrint-x64.cab and c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin\RSClientPrint-x86.cab and placed in the appropriate folders
and it appears to work on 32 bit and 64 bit systems, however, it no longer allows you to print from Reporting Services 2005 on the 32 bit machines. It prompts to install the print control. The 64 bit machines can print from both Reporting Services 2005 and 2012 after running this script.
