Help me connect my OTC 850 printer in Win7 64

I'm trying to move to Win7 64 here at work. Only thing I can't get going is my work printer. It's an OTC850... big huge workhorse and it's plugged into an after market parallel port pci card, since my pc only has usb. It is on LPT3. Anyway, I can't get win7 to even see the thing. Tried looking for drivers but the version I found is not compatible with 64 bit os's. Any ideas how I can get it working? Printer emulator maybe, or a USB to Parallel converter??

Thanks! But I got it working. I found 64 bit Vista drivers for the PCI Parallel board and that worked

Why are you using a beta operating system in a production environment? That's not very wise in my opinion.
