"Another failed HP driver - no big surprise here. Not the providers fault, but HP's fault. Best to go to HP live help to get your drivers."

"This driver is not the easiest to install if you are a novice computer person. you had to unzip then locate the setup file inside a hidden file it was just a real pain needs an auto play or something to cause installation to kick in."

"The driver worked great/ I have a problem ;for some reason I can't download any updates at all and when I put items in my recycle bin they totally disappear.I thought that it might have been a setting for the recycle bin but I checked the settings and they are fine/I think it maybe some kind of adware or virus thats causing the prob.If you can help I sure would appreciate

"Driver is good for this hp 533w running xp home edition. You have to use some user intervention by unzipping it to a specified directory, going to that directory then running the setup installer. If you can get that done the rest is automatic. Good Driver.
