Windows 64 bit and Kodak printers or docks

After installing Windows XP x64 on my new Athlon dual core rig, I was faced with the problem of a lack of 64-bit drivers for my peripherals. Like my sweet sweet PowerMate or my matching Razor mouse.

But the biggest disappointment was a lack of any mention of 64 bit support for my new Kodak AIO printer or my Kodak Printer Dock. The could mean that I have to downgrade my OS to upload and print my photos.

But after just going for it with the driver installation, I realized that Kodak DOES have 64 bit driver support in the installer, but it just isn't advertised.

So if you're running XP x64 or Vista 64, install away with the appropriate driver from the Kodak software download site and know you'll get the 64 bit drivers that your OS craves.
