My trusty Canon MP800 printer was shared to my home network via it’s Vista 32-bit host, however I’ve now installed Windows 7 64-bit. The problem is that although you can share the printer easily enough you have to allow the "server" to have the 32bit drivers available to the clients. The problem is that when you tick the 32bit architecture and try and search for the drivers it won’t detect them, I’m guessing the downloaded 32bit driver package hides the actual drivers until you do a normal install. You can’t do a normal 32bit on a 64bit OS. Luckily I discovered this post that I’ve duplicated (in case it gets losts);
