I am using Python 2.2, a 32-bit process, but I need to load a 64bit dll from a printer. It might seem strange, but is this possible?

3Why are you using Python 2.2? That is 2001 software! Pythn 2.7 will be Python-level compatible with all features existing in 2.2. – jsbueno Aug 09 '12 at 11:38

I've never seen that *any* DLL can be loaded with Python. – Aug 09 '12 at 11:55

In a word, no.
ctypes using LoadLibrary is used to connect to an external DLL, but if you are a 32-bit process then you will be using 32-bit addresses, so a 64-bit binary could not be mapped against your address space.
