Mac OS X In a move that's sure to be welcomed by customers of both parties, HP is reported to be working with Apple to allow users of Mac OS X Leopard to instantly receive the the latest versions of HP's printer drivers over Leopard's built-in Software Update mechanism. In seeding Leopard build 9A559 to its developer community last week, Apple listed only two known issues with the software, one of which instructed testers with HP printers connected to their system to perform a custom install of the next-gen operating system and de-select the HP printer drivers in the installer. "The HP printer drivers will be delivered post-install via Software Update", the company told testers.

People should realise now that to become a third party, you just have to pay enough into Apple's back pocket, giving you a nice competitive edge over everybody - Case in hand: EA with iPod games, AT&T for iPhone, and now HP and Apple Software Update.
