I agree it seems insane to replace something that works fine and is only a few months to a year old. Since their doesn't appear to be a best-case solution, what about buying new devices and donating the old ones to somewhere that you can get a tax credit. Maybe a local school?

"...it seems insane to replace something that works fine" At first glance, I thought you were talking about the OS! But the point still holds: Why upgrade the OS in the first place?

This is a good point. Swapping out printers, while potentially annoying, is not a big problem. Swapping out operating systems potentially causes all sorts of problems due to software incompatibilities, hardware upgrades, etc. Is there any valid reason for moving to 64-bit Windows on individual workstations now?
