HP LaserJet Printer Drivers for Windows 7 x64

64 Bit Windows has finally come into its own and is the preferred platform versus 32 Bit in most situations.  Unless you're using an old HP printer, then it becomes a potentially serious issue.  I've found that most of the Vista 64 bit drivers work just fine in Windows 7.

If you're using a network printer it becomes a bit trickier - the Host Based Printing Systems don't print across the network, so they're right out even though they are often available in a 64 bit edition.

HP Universal Printing often works, and often does not.  For example it wouldn't work with a network connected Color LaserJet 3600 Series.  Instead I used the Vista driver from http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=501046&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=501044&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=2100.
