Printers/Scanner on Mac

Getting an HP All-in-one printer to print and scan on a Mac caused me a lot of headaches.  I downloaded a variety of drivers and programs from HP hoping to find the magical combination.  I never did.  I did learn that the installers put the drivers in a folder /Library/Printers/hp.  Deleting this folder was useful to start from a clean slate. 

After a lot of searching I found drivers provided by Mac.  They are downloadable from http://support.apple.com/downloads/#hp.  Once I downloaded the drivers, suddenly, the printer and scanner worked at the same time!
