HAR! I had to look up sneakernet but it sounds like the driver issue won't be a problem. As long as the machine directly talking to the printer is running 32 Windows you will be fine.
Hopefully you are getting a high speed connection between the machines. I'm really happy with the 1 gigabit connection I set up between my two systems - I just transferred 1.8 gigs (one 35mm roll scanned at 4000 dpi) in just under 2 minutes - and my network is slowed by the speed of my old IDE drives. The old 100 mps connection left a lot to be desired - it was actually faster to copy everything form the first machine to a USB 2.0 drive and then copy from that to the second machine.
