You probably know this, but the drivers included with Windows are provided
by the manufacturer and not MS. The HP site would be the better source if
available in any case. Many HP printers have a reference to x64 (driver,
suggested alternative driver, or notation that no driver is yet available).
The HP 500 and 500ps don't even have a reference to x64 so it does not look
so good.
