Minolta PagePro 1250W on Vista 64-bit

I am trying to install an XP driver for my Minolta PagePro 1250W printer on
Vista 64-bit Home Premium.

Minolta web site claims that it should be possible, that I should be able to
install the XP driver and it should work:

However, the driver just refuses to be installed. One possible reason that
I can think of is that Minolta support guys managed to install the XP driver
on Vista 32-bit and I have 64-bit edition. Does that sound like a plausible
explanation ? Am I screwed ?

Thanks.

the XP 32 bit driver will not work for 64bit OS.
