I'm not able to download any printer driver from the HP site. Is there an alternative or mirror site where drivers are just archived or cached?

You'd think that a multi-billion dollar corporation like HP would have reliable update servers. Unfortunately, that is not the case. HP has the absolute worst update architecture of any manufacturer on the planet.

I've been using www.driverguide.com since the late 90's. There's a lot of fluff on there, but a lot of useful content too.

No, it belongs here just as much as SU. As an admin I run into this problem constantly, especially with HP. – John Gardeniers Aug 18 '09 at 22:08
haha I realise I'm doing the thing I hate the most, which is when people vote for something to go to SU just because it says "printer" instead of "networked printer". Point taken, I'll edit my statement. – Mark Henderson♦ Aug 18 '09 at 22:41
