I hate HP.

I really hate HP. Every printer that I have had from them requires huge drivers that take forever to install and install god knows what on your computer. This newest one can scan wirelessly with just a web interface, but to print requires a 57 meg download. It's ridiculous. I hate HP. And to celebrate my hatred, here is a link for other people who hate them as well.

There is a work around. If you download their stupid driver package, and it's a exe file, try to use WinRAR to extract the contents to a folder. Then plug in your printer (or turn on wireless) and Add Printer from within Windows. Once it can't find the driver, find it, and click Update Driver, click browse folder, and point to the folder you unzipped it to.
