A Remote Procedure Call connection (RPC) is not going to work in this case
since the driver names do not match.
You have a couple quick options.
1) Install the x86 Vista driver for this device onto the print server and
install a new (or change the current queue to use the Vista driver but HP
does not recommend this) queue for the device. When the driver name
matches, the x64 Vista machine will install the local driver for the
connection.
2) Create a Local Port in the form \\printserver\printer where printer is
the share name (avoid using spaces in the share name ) on the x64 machine
and use this port for a Local Printer that uses the Vista x64 driver. This
basically just copies the formatted for printer data to the share as if you
had printed to file and copied the file to the print share.
