Story: Driver shortage could derail 64-bit
Slowly getting better
I tried X64 about 9 months ago and gave up 'till now, using the time inbetween to get drivers. Hp now has 64bit drivers albeit beta, I've got the drivers installed for my Deskjet 5552 (but as a previous poster said, lost some functionality - cleaning print heads) installed drivers okay for the epson stylus photo R220. Used both their x64 drivers and software but the software was outdated, so used the x64 drivers and my x32 software disk. Everything works perfectly. 1-up for epson as against HP!
Still stuck as logitech have announced they have no intention of providing x64 drivers. My scanner hasn't got x64 drivers and I can't fax cos cant find any x64 drivers for any of my 3 v92 dialup modems.
Let's just hope that when vista 64 comes out early 2007 these manufacturers will pull their fingers out cos after all x64 has been in the market place 3 years now!
