Though this reference is slightly dated (circa 1996), HP maintains a
public site with a lot of updated drivers for their products.  Their
printer division is in Boise, Idaho (IIRC) and the site (at least for
ftp) is/was:

    ftp-boi.external.hp.com

but, just now, a ping to it returned the name "ftp.hp.com".

There might also be some references to printer support on HP's main page at
www.hp.com
