Windows 7 64 bit printer compatibility woes! Network it instead?

I have a nifty HP 1022 laser printer, and now I read that finally the 64 bit driver's available. BUT, it looks like I'd need a master's degree is computer science to figure out how to install the 64 bit driver. And I have an XP machine (32 bit) from which I'd also like to print.

Can I solve this by making the HP 1022 a networked printer? Will I be able to acess it from my Windows 7 or must I still install the correct driver to make this work?

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Yes,make it a network printer.
You will be able to access it from W7.
You must install drivers both on XP machine and
XP one.
Where is the printer attached now ?

Uppss...I see it is the other way arround.
When installing x64 bit driver make sure you select the option of installing additional drivers during the installation process.
