True but any company worth thier mustard will have a universal print driver (I know HP and Konica-Minolta both have one), I'm using one on my server (Server 2008 R2 64bit only) for an old HP laserjet	Deimos (5715)

In such cases, because a 64-bit operating system can handle large amounts of memory more efficiently than a 32-bit operating system, a 64-bit operating system can be more responsive when running several programs at the same time and switching between them frequently. Though you have 4GB memory in you case, i personally would use 32bit, 32 bit OS has better compatibility compare to 64bit OS, ps: windows.microsoft.com	_galaxy (15847)

The 32bit consumer versions of Windows are capable of addressing up to 4GB of total address space (4GB being the largest byte offset that will fit in a 32bit register). That address space includes the system RAM, the dedicated RAM on the graphics card, various locations reserved by the BIOS, direct access to hardware devices etc. In the real world, this usually means you'll be able to use a little over 3GB of your system RAM - anything else is a waste of cash unless you're planning on running either a 64bit OS, or a 32bit OS with proper PAE support (PAE gets around the 4GB limit and allows 32bit systems to address up to 64GB).
