Printer Installs are getting less Friendly

I used to go through an install of a printer in nothing flat back in the Navy.
Nowadays it takes all freaking day!
I just got one of those 3-1 photosmart HP systems.
FAX/printer/scanner guy!
Well...The CD failed five times! So I decided to download the software of the HP website.
I recommend anyone buying a photosmart to do this after the first or second CD load failure!
Unfortunately the system is a 3-1 so there is a plethora of software to back up all the equipment.
It took eight hours to get it done, but it is now done and after testing my own prints of saved files, I can say the printer is AOK!
Now for sleep and then I can start on the FAX and scanner setups to my preferences.
