Is there any way to get a 32-bit GDI printer driver to run on Windows 7 x64 ... or any 64-bit Windows OS?

The printer in question is a Canon LBP 5200. Here is the driver download page.

Nope, Virtual XP doesn't work.

Short answer: No. For a 64-bit OS, you need 64-bit drivers.

I thought so - just thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks – CAD bloke Aug 14 '09 at 1:03

No. Windows x64 can only handle 64 bit software (drivers, etc) at the kernel level.

Maybe if you find a compatible printer with 64 bit drivers.
