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.
