Please note amd64 architecture also called x86_64 refers to amd 64bit cpus and Intel with em64t (core duo 2, new xeon). Windows 64bit runs on both amd and intel cpu, so amd64 binaries are suitable also for Intel.

Itanium also called ia64 is a totally different architecture, mainly used for servers.

[RawPrinter]

A little tool to print files in RAW format, you can use it to print directly ESC/P2 codes to a dot matrix printer. You can use a network printer without having any driver installed. Without arguments it will pop a gui to configure the printer, then it will save a .ini file with the selected printer. To print just drag the file on the executable or via batch pass as commandline.
