I got k5426-d2.zip from wuarchive yesterday and loaded it at home last night.
It fixed the problem I had been having with my Cirrus Logic driver version 1.41!
Many thanks to David for this service.

One installation glitch, though.  The 'install.exe' utility just hung and
continuously hit my hard drive, all the while displaying the "Copying 16 color
driver" message and showing 0% completion.  I was able to use the Cancel button
to abort the process with no damage to my system (I waited three increasingly
nervous minutes or so).  The same install worked fine when I tested it on my
work 486 Windows system.  The solution was to 'cd' to the directory into which
I had unzipped the update and run "win install".  All was well after that.

For reference, the problem I was having was with Microsoft Publisher 2.0.  The
HP 550 C printer driver would hang when attempting to print font sizes at or
above 36 points.  Removing the Cirrus Logic driver 1.41 fixed the problem, so
I knew it was at fault.  Version 1.43 is clean and I am happy.

Again, thanks for the upload Dave.
