5000ps & 5500ps printing in Windows 7

HP Designjet 5000PS & 5500PS. I am getting ready to upgrade computers to Windows 7 professional 64 bit. I will also be purchasing CorelDraw X5. We still use these two printers on a regular basis. Am I going to have any issues with print drivers?
I saw on the HP site that they have a generic driver. Does anybody have any words of wisdom.

Sorry, no specific help on this issue.

I just bought a new PC with Windows 7 installed and had a heap of grief getting older printers/dongles to work so installed XP on it - problem solved.

7 won't let you install older print drivers - at all.\
Which meant I could no longer print to my ageing Docucolor 1250.
Fuji Xerox had NFI.

That looks promising. How about the 5000?
I have a feeling HP aren't supporting them any more.
