Connecting printer to network

[possessed89]

Hi
i recently finished hooking up my new 64 bit pc to my home network and i have an issue,
the other computer (using 32 bit OS) has a printer attached to (USB) and when i try to connect to it on my new pc it says the incorrect drivers are installed (which makes sense, because 64 bit drivers would be needed)
if i just install the 64 bit drivers on my new pc, will that allow me to connect to the printer, or is it not going to be possible
thanks

Go to the pc which has the physical printer connected to it.
Go to Control Panel > Printers and right click the USB printer, then click properties. Go to the Sharing tab and click Additional Drivers. You will be able to load your 64 bit driver here and keep the Xp driver for the other pc.
