Companies like HP tend to have their own drivers for their printers instead of universal ones due to all the functions they add. Usually, the manual says in big letters, RUN THE CD FIRST or install drivers or something similar. Especially with network printers as they don't store the driver on the printer. The only time it took me that long to install a printer was when the printer was incompatible with the OS, but I found a workaround. (I knew that it was going in.)
