...64 bit clients are unable to add printers and receive an error of
"Cannot Connect to Printer" with an error code of 0x0000007e...

My solution was to remove the CopyFiles key from
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\<Printer
Name>\

Driver installs on x64 without further fuss.
