HP still owns the printer market. Has for years. I'm talking about pure market share (which is dictated by what we all buy historically).

Don't install the whole software package. Just the basic drivers. That'* true with almost any peripheral. How many people install new mouse drivers when they pick up a new optical USB mouse?

You would be surprised on how many people feel they need to on their simple three button mouse lol. I always say not to, you're going to be back asking more questions, and this time it will be 'how do I get my mouse working again?'.
