Is anyone able to tell me how I can run a 32bit program and printer drivers, as I have updated my computers only to discover that the manufacturer has not updated either the software or drivers as they have made this device obsolete?
It's a program and printer that I use daily to produce passport photos, and need urgent advice and/or guidance please?

32-bit drivers cannot be used on 64-bit Windows. 32-bit programs can be used but if your 32-bit program uses software or hardware drivers, they need to be 64-bit, otherwise you are out of luck.
