> While normally I would agree with your comment, printers are an especially complicated class of device. I think it is far worse than that. Printers are commodity products and pretty cheap for what you get new for hundred to a few hundred bucks, which is a hardware and software package that is likely to work flawlessly out of the box and for at least a few years. Labor is not cheap. There was a threshold crossed 20-25 years ago where it no longer made economic sense to repair hardware, and ever since the broken is simply replaced. Even if this printer technically works, if the 32-bit driver is unacceptable, then it classifies. The amount of effort required compared to the value of the product is staggering. Add to this that it already works, albeit with a 32-bit driver, and we're entering the territory of mental illness; perfectionism and obsession are not virtues, they are symptoms. OP is not a hacker, but rather is attempting to Tom Sawyer a hacker into painting his fence for him. Hackers are notorious for ugly solutions and would not ever whine about using a 32-bit driver, nor do they ask for all the work to be done for them. What possible realized benefit of having a 64-bit driver for this printer is not exactly clear. It has the memory that it has, 128MB, and a driver capable of 4 billion times the address space should make absolutely no difference, because the memory is what it is. The top reply is apt, and the GP is only encouraging heartache, disappointment and failure. If the OP wants a 64-bit driver, he'll need to find a replacement printer that comes with one. Conversely, he can earn a computer engineering degree and go to work for a few years in the device driver industry to get the experience necessary to approach and solve this tiny problem requiring massive knowledge for pretty much no benefit. I would recommend instead meditating on why it is difficult to impossible to change the nature of something and/or why you shouldn't build your castle in a swamp.[1] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w82CqjaDKmA&t=0m2s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w82CqjaDKmA&t=0m2s
