Yeah I think over half the network printer models I got had bad CD drivers. In two cases the drivers for Mac AND PC would not work. Only going to the website solved the problem. Also, HP has a habit of including a lot of other things that bog down a slow PC. Bloatware is an interesting

I have never had anything but trouble with HP drivers on the Mac. The GUI on the Mac doesn't conform to anything close to Mac guidelines, and is utterly confusing. The printers themselves seem reliable, but the software will prevent me from ever buying another HP printer. -- Peter Peter M.

They killed it because it just wasn't moving-- even a little bit. Sales were so bad HP decided it wasn't worth pouring more marketing and RD dollars into a commodity product market. Most of the $99 and $149 models were snatched up immediately-- with folks expecting to convert them to Android.
