64 bit printer driver for environment with winxp 64 and win 7 64

Hello - simple question,

I am running a win2k3 (Non R2) Print server.

I know how to add additional drivers for 64 bit machines, however, since we have winxp 64 bit and windows 7 64 bit, which one should I grab (From HP website)  In the past I have been using the windows XP 64 driver, and it has worked on 7 - however I am changing our printers to use the latest PCL 6 drivers...

I want to ensure the best compatibility possible, but want to use the windows 7 64 bit driver; as we will eventually be ditching XPx64.

Is the W2k3 a 32-bit print server?  If so you will need to install your 64-bit computers as as a local TCIP port.

Thank you gentlemen - I went with HP UPD PCL 6 system-wide (Except one bastard printer that wont work with PCL 6, I tried disabling advanced printing features, kept getting a PCL XL error Unsupported Protocol)
