WHY DOES HEWLETT-PACKARD ROLL THIS DRIVER ?

Minimizing the number of the revisions of the drivers is an objective
of Hewlett-Packard. However Hewlett-Packard may have to release new
revisions for any one of the following reasons:



   * ENHANCEMENTS - This is the case when a major new feature is
     available on the market. Good examples are Microsoft Windows 95, a
     new level of the Plug and Play standard, a new level of the PCI
     standard.

   * PROCUREMENT ASSURANCE - Hewlett-Packard qualifies an additional
     supplier for a component in order to secure the procurement.

   * COMPONENT ROLL - A semiconductor supplier introduces a new version
     of a component, and stops the production of the previous version
     for technological improvement reasons.

   * QUALITY - To improve the quality, Hewlett-Packard has to make use
     of a more reliable component, or to implement a design change.

   * COST - Hewlett-Packard uses a different supplier which can supply
     the equivalent component at a much lower price.

   * BUG FIX - Bugs discovered in the previous version are fixed.
