Will Print Server Solve My Problem?

I can't get any of my printers to work with Vista. The manufacturers have
not released updated drivers. If I installed a print server and connected my
printer to that, would it solve my problem?

Try to install a new printer and the installation will search the drivers
from the internet. I've new drivers for my very old canon printer

No, as you'll still need the drivers.
