I've been running 64-bit Vista for over 2 years now and have yet to find hardware that I actually use that won't work (including some old laser printers). Will the HP UPD support your poster printer? We have had pretty good luck with it supporting our HP devices (the driver itself has been somewhat buggy though).
If you do happen to run across that ancient piece of technology that won't work for anything, it is a good excuse to replace it. :-) -TS Thomas C.

Brondos Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2010 7:31 AM To: Tech-Geeks Mailing List Subject: [tech-geeks] Before Taking the 64-bit OS Plunge I'm getting ready to do a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit OS on an updated computer that can handle it (but is running the 32-bit just fine). I want to do this because Adobe Premiere CS5 requires it. However, What kind of hardware am I going to have to give up if I'm not likely to find drivers? I have an HP Scanjet with ADF which I'm partial to . . . and an HP 650C DesignJet poster printer which I still want to use . . . Has anyone installed the 64-bit and lived to regret it?
