I revalidated my HowTo today for someone else who is having a question 
about print server. And I could reproduce your problem: I upload a x64 
driver successfully, but the driver combobox with the drivers is empty.

If I associate the driver with the printer by rpcclient, as mentioned in 
the HowTo, too, everything is fine and I can configure the printer and 
continue.

But what confuses me more: If I upload a x86 driver for the printer, 
too, then the driver appears in the list. Also the driver appears if 
only a x86 driver is uploaded. This sounds a bit like a bug for me.

I'll try to find out more. But as workaround you can upload the x86 
driver (additionally to your x64 driver) or use rpcclient to associate 
the driver with the printer.
