I just received an E-mail from HP notifying me that there are new drivers
available for the HP Officejet 7310.

However on trying to download them the file doesn't exist. I had a
little 'manual' search around the HP FTP site and couldn't find the
file so it's not just a simple typo in the filename.

The link given in the E-Mail takes you to the standard software
download page, the link for the new drivers there is:-
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software4/COL10511/oj-30606-1/rub_w01_Americas_Euro1.exe

Is there any way to tell HP about this and/or does anyone know if the
new driver is available by any other means?
 
I found the update on the HP website, and it is listed as 4/05, but the
FTP site doesn't work. I am in the US. HP doesn't make it easy to
contact them. Try emailing the webmaster (I just did).

Well if that isn't "speaking for my employer HP" I don't know what is! :-)

However it's the sort of speaking I like, thanks!
 
Are these really new versions of the drivers. Just a quick glance at
the individual files makes it look like all are dated Dec 2004 or
earlier.

.... but theyre a whole lot bigger than the previous version. The
previous version was dated Nov 2004 wasn't it mostly?
 
Do not have access to the previous version of the files here. I would
like to know what fixes/changes have been made in this version as I
have everything working at home and do not want to bother upgrading the
setup if these new drivers are basically the same as the old ones.

I have no idea what changes, I haven't installed yet as the printer is
at home.

However I did notice that the options you're offered when installing
are different, theres a Full install as before and a Lite install but
the Lite install seems to have a lot more in it than the old minimum
one.
