HP PSC 1350xi driver wanted

[Guest]

Hi everyone,

I am running WinME and just bought an HP PSC 1350xi all-in-one
printer. The CD that I'm using to install it installs the auxiliary
software (photo & imaging gallery, etc.) but it won't set up the
actual driver for the printer.

Going to HP's site gives me the option to buy a CD or download the
software. I'm not too excited about buying the CD, because I fear it
will be the same one I have, and I am not willing to download 400Mb+
worth of software when I'm looking for a driver that will only top out
at ~10Mb.

A search at DriverGuide doesn't yield any promising results, probably
because this printer is so new on the market.

I would appreciate any suggestions for obtaining the driver only and
not any of the additional software that HP includes on the CD.

Thanks in advance,
Isaac

There is a basic driver version on the hp site that is 49MB.

Yes, I see that, and I should have mentioned I'm on dialup. 49Mb would take me
roughly 2.5-3 hours to download. I'm not *that* patient. I still think a
driver for a printer of this type should be at most 10Mb. FileMon has watched
at most 8Mb of files be installed with a basic driver installation (performed
through the Add Printer wizard) with other HP all-in-ones. I don't see why this
model should be any exception.
