we are deploying win7 and our win 2k3 server is 32bit and has about 40 shared printers and the drivers are in 32bit.
all printers are different model's
is there a way to have these printers work on win7 64bit?
There is no way to really answer this without knowing what the printers are.
The best I could suggest is that you go to the manufacturer's website and see what support they have for the printers under Windows 7 64-bit.
I would also suggest you do this for anything else you may deem critical to your workplace.
Good luck.
The age of the printer will also play a huge factor in whether they are supported in W7 64bt or not.
FWIW, when I was first playing with W7, I was able to get most HP drivers made for Vista 64bit to work in W7 64bit, until HP started releasing more and more 64bit drivers for W7.
YMMV.
