Or just use linux with CUPS and you never have to let hp install spyware on your computer.
Agreed but not everyone uses Linux. I do but not on every machine I own.
I think you still need the proprietary drivers to use the scanner.
I guess that's probably true unfortunately. But official linux hp drivers are less annoying than their windows counterparts at least
