[TriLUG] Help: Looking for HP LaserJet Pro MFP M283cdw Installation Software

[William Sutton via TriLUG]

The problem with this sort of thing is that either the printer will want 
to install updates, or the OS will, and either update will sometimes 
decide the other software is no longer compatible and just stop working.

Louis Rossman had some things to say about HP and recent updates designed 
to make your previously functional printer no longer usable--to force you 
into buying a new printer.

This is why I still love my 25-year-old HP LaserJet 4N.  It's a functional 
network printer under any OS, without the need for specialized 
print/scan/fax software, and is so old that it can't automatically update 
its own firmware.
