DAMN Seriously.... installing drivers is becoming worse than installing a whole OS

Dude, just download the basic driver package...not the entire bloatware they want you to install.

... a lot of vendors aren't providing that for some devices.

I've never had that problem with HP printers.

Oh, and enjoy your job. May you never have to deal with any problems in your life. :beer:

Including HP multifunction devices?

sounds like a classic PICNIC to me... I haven't had issues for quite some time except for finding weird ass drivers for no-name mobos

Good, I thought it was just me. I find even DRIVERS are become bloated. Do programmers get paid by how big their files are or something? It's retarded how some drivers are so freaken bloated with crap. What pisses me off is printers with "printing software". I don't need no special software, I just want the printer to act like a normal printer and not do anything weird.

And yeah, they should embed drivers in flash card that is on the device, that would make perfect sense tbh. There could be a button combination you press on the device to activate the flash card mode and it could be programmed to be read only so it can't accidentally be deleted.
