    What is the software that supposedly can't run on 64 bit?
    And since probably 90% of W7 installs are Home Premum, not Professional, I find it hard to believe that Professional is required.

    Hmm, if the Networked printers are old / don't have 64 bit drivers, and the whole network is 32 bit, then jumping onto it with a 64 bit laptop is going to cause trouble.

    ...with XP64. Windows 7 can quite happily use 32 bit drivers and there is also the old PCL5 and PCL6 universal drivers to fall back on. Xerox do a universal print driver.
