The driver support has come a long way since Microsoft rolled out our first
x64 print server. Drivers were the main issue.


Printmig.exe does not recognize the x64 drivers. If you use this tool, the
printer information migrates but one has to install the x64 drivers on the
server and restart the spooler for the printers to show up.

x64 is a great print server platform. The server can handle a greater
client load and the jobs are processed quickly but I don't have any perf
data on this just experience.
