I have a set of 30 CUPS/Samba printserver all servers (10 to 200 printqueues) are host the printerdriver for WindowsXP/32bits and 64bits.
All printerdrivers are exported to Samba via the cups webinterface (cupsaddsmb).

Your realy have to follow the cupsaddsmb man-page. Only the microsoft-drivers are necessary!
The "cups postscript-drivers" are only used for two additional but not necessary features.

In the last month we are started the migration project to Win7/64bit. I only changed the x64 printerdriver to the win7/64 version and everything works fine.

This was a quite easy jobs.

Franz

PS: tomorrow I will start to have a look at Windows8!
