How to use a shared printer (win xp 32bit) on windows 7 (64 bit) without 64bit driver?

Hi,

I've connected my Epson EPL-5900L to my desktop-pc (Windows XP 32bit) and
share it in the network.
Now I want to use this shared printer on a Windows 7 (64bit) notebook but
unfortunately there are no 64bit drivers for this printer (not for windows 7
and not for vista).

Is there a way I can use this printer on the notebook?
--> Maybe a "proxy-printer" on the XP-machine where exists 64bit driver für
windows 7.

Hopefully someone can help me.

To print from 64-bit Win 7 you will need 64-bit Win 7 drivers. If the
printer has a emu,lation of something like an HP laser, then you could
select an HP driver listed in Win 7 and use that.

If what ever program you want to from has an option to print to PDF you
can put the files in PDF format and then take it to a computer where you
can open and print a PDF file.

I've solved the problem with this tutorial:
http://iharder.sourceforge.net/curre...winmacprinter/
I just created the postscript-print (in my case a HP LaserJet 4000 Series
PS) and shared this printer.
--> Maybe you need to download the HP Universal Print Driver:

Now I use this printer on Win7 and the output of this printer is redirected
to gsprint which prints the output on my Epson EPL-5900L.
