What about me Mr. H and Mr. P?

I have an HP Photosmart 7550 printer, I also have Windows XP Pro x64 Edition. HP decided that there was no compelling reason to make a driver for this combination. Luckily, they were kind enough to point me in the right direction. To get your HP Deskjet, Officejet, PSC, and Photosmart printers working in x64 you definately want to check out this page: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c00364537 For the HP Photosmart 7550 check out this page specifically: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?docname=c00365046&dlc=en&lc=en&cc=us If either of these links go dead just head over to the HP website and type c00364537 in the search area at the bottom.

Fire Liar

I download the latest Linux distro and throw a blank DVD in the drive only to find that, WTF, my Firewire DVD-RW drive is no longer supported by Windows. I was just using it yesterday, I think to myself. Well after absolutely no luck finding drivers (apparently they're only required for and thus only developed for Windows 98) I finally found a solution. After downloading and installing the latest non-beta BIOS for my Asus K8V SE Deluxe my drive is working again as good as new. The new Asus BIOS must have improved Firewire support, so if you're having a similar problem getting peripherals to work I urge you not to forget about trying a BIOS update.
