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?

    Why 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. Commented Aug 9, 2012 at 11:38

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.
