New printer; new printer driver. What could go wrong? Then my local caching proxy stops working.
I restart it. I fiddle with its configuration. I upgrade to the latest version. No dice. I happen---just happen!---to need printer drivers for another platform. So off to hp.com I go. In the release notes for the latest version: > Fix application conflict of http port 8080. Whose bright-spark idea was it to use a common HTTP port for a *printer driver*? Hate.
