OSX 10.6 + HP Drivers (Laserjet 2055dn in particular issue and fix)

On latest drivers from apple and HP.com/support this april 2010:

The drivers send a generic signal into the printer to pause after each print. This can really get aggravating.

I found a fix for it however, remove the generic drivers from apple for HP, remove your installed driver from HP.

Go to hp.com/support download newest driver (currently 1 April 2010)
Install driver as normal

Follow these steps:
• Install new driver by double clicking it dur
• System Preferences --> Print & Fax
• Double click on your desired HP printer, this will open the printer window for that printer
• Click on the right icon "Printer Setup"
• Go to "Utility" and click the button in there "Open Printer Utility," this will open your default internet browser and log you into the printer (be sure it's connected via USB)
• At the top, click on "Settings"
• Then select "System Setup"
• Turn "Auto Continue" option to "On"

Then click "Apply" button at bottom right. And you're set. Not sure why the latest drivers screw with this.

I can't find any drivers from HP, they just keep saying that they are included in Snow leopard. I still can't print after the 10.6.3 update with my HP 4200 its KILLING ME. I can print from parallels though
