Clarification Request
So these are not at hp.com?

And I can't check which you'll need. You listed FIVE PRINTERS as well as not tell if that was 32 or 64 bit windows.

But there is a way to ask HP. Head to hp.com and click on their chat button.

Bluetooth may not be all that useful today. Unless you are very PC savvy, forget it's in the printer.

I went to hp.com and they did have a driver for the 990cxi for W7 64 bit.

I can only guess you didn't try.

As Bob stated you could use the chat line at Hp. Have you tried to hook up one of the printers via USB to see if Win 7 will recognize and automatically load a driver? These are older printers and there may or may not be a downloadable driver for these, however, Win 7 does have a plug and play capability, with certain peripheral devices, such as some printers.

Try the hook up (USB) to see if the printer(s) will load via Windows 7, that would be the first thing to try. As Bob said, as far as blue tooth is concerned it is more than likely a dubious enterprise for printers of that vintage. My guess would be that IF Windows recognizes the printer(s) and loads drivers it will be a basic load and as to whether the duplexer(s) will work is questionable.
