Apple HP Printer Driver - 2.2

I, too, had the last minute hang and not go anywhere, but I left it alone for several minutes while tending to my grandaughter, and found that it had finished in the interim. However - even though my printer/copier/scanner was listed, it still does not copy or scan. So for me, I will continue to use my Canon scanner. Very sloppy quality control testing, if any was done at all. HP has consistently let me down. Not sure I will purchase another product from them.

This exact scenario happened with my attempt at installing. I have four friends, one of whom used to work at an Apple Store--same issue. This is obviously not an isolated event as even a previous commenter added weight to this.

I got a PACE kext repeating dialog and a runaway process with fans a blazing. I not only had to force-quit the installer, but had to reboot as well to get rid of a continuing repeating loop of pop-up errors about an badly installed kext.

I gave it one more shot and rebooted into safe mode, logged into a freshly created admin account--same deal. Had to force-quit the installer--which didn't end the repetetive pop-ups.

Obviously this is a problematic update that needs fixing.

It still frankly amazes me, and don't get me wrong, I still drink the Apple Kool-Aid, but I've been amazed how easily the Windows updates go in general, considering they are on a huge installed base of "machines of mystery" of an infinite variety of configurations not owned by Microsoft.

Apple owns, develops and maintains it's own installer base that includes a much smaller number of KNOWN machines (machines of no mystery)--and yet we are so often plagued with bad install issues like this. You'd think this would be the opposite experience in "mac world."

Owning a Mac is about simplicity in your computing life, not having to be a "smart Mac person" who knows for example, not to use the automated "Software Update" but rather to download a huge combo-update, boot into safe mode, repair permissions, install, re-repair permissions etc.

You can do much much better than this Steve Jobs. Take your eyes off your bottom line and live up to what Bill Gates said about you when he said you were "doing good things..." There's nothing wrong with "doing good things" after you've sold someone something too. We're moving into a more and more re-purposed world that tries to keep technology out of the landfill just a little longer.
