Sharp AL-1644 and vista 64

Question

I have just purchased a new pc with vista 64 bit and cant get any drivers for the printer. Sharp have none and there is no news on if there will ever be a driver for vista 64. I have tried making the old pc running xp a print server but still have the same issue. Is there a way round getting my printer to work with vista 64 or is it a case of a new machine.
