I don't understand why a printer driver (even for several models) have to be a download almost 1/2GB large!

Why 405MB for a Printer Driver? - Patrick923

I agree that this is one HUGE file for a printer driver! From what I have read on other posts here I guess drivers are included for all of the various HP printers, and there are sure lots of models, so what we end up with is a very bloated install.

I think I'm gooing to take a pass on this one. Surely HP can do better than this.

D'accord. I have an HP 5850 that runs just fine under 10.5.4 using the same driver I've been using under Panther, Tiger, and now Leopard. If it ain't broke...
