Can I use the software of HP Vista 64 bit on Win 7 64 bit?

I have a HP Deskjet 6940, which I will use it on a new computer with Win7 64 bit after the beginning of the year.

Looking for the software Win7 64-bit to the HP6940, HP support indicates full software recommended for HP6940 is not available and to be able to use the basic software provided by Win7 installation disc. This is not good. I need to switch between the different modes of printing with a few changes. I don't think that it will be available in the base of Win 7.

HP of HP6940 support shows full software support for Vista 64-bit. Microsoft documentation indicates most Vista 64 bit drivers etc. will work on Win7 64-bit. The key word is most. So the question is, can I go ahead and use the HP Vista 64 bit on Win7 64-bit software to get the functionality I need or I don't have a chance? If it won't work how long can I wait for Win7 64 bit software for the HP6940 available? The printer is not the old ONE that HP should stop support.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Based on past experience "of"base is basic without many options to control. Limited quality basic option buttons = good, better, best more type = text and photographic and oriantation = portrait, landscape. The video associated with the message of support from Win 7 to the HP6940 was not very helpful and did not show the potential options/install provided. Or maybe it went so fast, that was really not what was available/presented.

It's a bad choice of words to suggest that pilots are "basic", for the Deskjet 6940 they resemble what I would expect of a full featured download of HP.  Personally, I like the method of Windows Update to provide drivers a little better than to seek to hp.com for pilots, but it's a little more difficult to know in advance what you found.  Drivers such as the Deskjet 990 are what I would call "basic", others, like the 6940 are pretty full featured.
