And again, going from 32 bit to 64 bit. CPUs with new added
instruction sets and other advances in hardware architecture
can require changes to take advantages of it.

Yes, but _take advantage of_ is the significant phrase. You should still
be able to run existing software (in the case under discussion, printer
drivers); if it doesn't _take advantage of_ the new features, that's
your problem.

If I had a car that could do 200 miles per hour, I would accept that I
might have to pay for access to places where I could take advantage of
that capability; however, I'd be pretty peeved if I _couldn't_ drive it
on ordinary roads (and, obviously, I'd accept that I couldn't do 200 on
them).

On the other hand, you have different fingers.
