Riddle me this..

Riddle me this Batman; installing HP printers with USB cables have to suck, why? First if you use the CD that comes with the printer, you get tons of crap that you don’t need and have to install with the driver. So you are looking at 300 Megs of garbage.  If you troll through the mess that HP calls a support section. You can in some cases download just the driver.  This comes as an .exe file.

So you run the .exe thinking that will solve all your problems….WRONG! You hunt around the HP site to find out that the .exe you just executed; dumped all the drivers into a folder that it just created in your program files folder.  The .exe couldn’t have just installed the drivers properly? I would have even been happy if I had the option to choose where the folder with the drivers was placed.

Yeah if I have to go through this again, it’s going down like it did in Office Space for that printer.  Only that will be walk in the park by comparison. This puts me in a perfect mood to take my next networking quiz…
