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,

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.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.
Thanks for the points! If you encounter any trouble during the install, just post on this post. See you soon!
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 ?
