Installing Epson LQ-590 32-bit driver on Server 2008 R2 64-bit

Hello,

I have a 64-bit server that also operates as the print-server in our domain (Win Server 2008 R2). 

In our domain, I have 32-bit and 64-bit machines. For all printers I can install 32-bit and 64-bit drivers on my server, except for the Epson LQ-590 (and the LQ-2090). 

I've tried to install the driver by pushing it from a workstation (32-bit) to the server (64-bit), but it doesn't work.

I've tried to copy the 32 bit drivers from a workstation to the server (as described on another thread*) but then I get the error: The given location doesn't contain the driver for EPSON LQ-590 ESC/P 2 for the requested processor - translated from Dutch)

Also Epson doesn't provide downloadable drivers for these printers as they come "in the box" with  server 2008 en Windows Vista/7.

Does anyone has an idea/suggestion on how it can be done? 

I found some workarounds online, but the one that "worked" actually installed the printer locally on the workstations. (what I don't want to)

One thing I've noticed is that the name of this printer(driver) is differtent in a 32 and 64-bit Win7. Could this be the problem, as Mr Allan Morris suggests in the same thread* as mentioned above? Cause the printer can work with each driver and it is the standard driver delivered with Windows.
32 bit => EPSON LQ-590 ESC/P 2 Ver 2.0

64 bit => EPSON LQ-590 ESC/P 2

And if this is the problem, what are my options?

Thx for your suggestions!
