Jason,
The print driver is installed by the aioprnt.msi in the [CD
Drive]:\printer\printer. This put the driver in C:\Program Files
(x86)\Kodak\Printer\PrinterDriver. It will have to be run on a 32-bit
system to get the 32-bit driver. You could then copy that to the 64-bit
system and add it.
After running the aioprnt.msi, just double clicking on the shared printer
when you view the server from the 32-bit system may install it
auto-magically as well, but I'm unsure.
