To add to Charlie's advice: "Network Printing" in Windows is very dependant
on the actual Driver Name.
This may be what you are running into. If, for example, you have a printer
of model xy50 and you install the 64 bit driver on your printer server for
the xy00 model, you will probably find that you have also install the 32 bit
version of the xy00 driver, not the xy50 driver, as an "Additional Driver".

If you're still stuck, try posting in the microsoft.public.win2000.printing
or microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax newsgroups.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
