Stopping software update

[Pagemakers]

I have tried to install a HP printer on SL and each time software update tries to find the drivers.

The problem is each time I re-boot, software update pops up asking me if I want to download and install the HP drivers. If I say yes, it tries and once again can’t find them and so the process goes on and on.

How do I permanently stop software update trying to install the Hp drivers?

Selecting the menu item update then Ignore update doesn't work (From the Software Update app)?

Nope. It’s greyed out.

System Preferences -> Software Update -> Uncheck Search for updates

Now it shouldn't check for updates automatically so you have to do it manually.

But I do want it to automatically check for updates, just not to keep prompting me to update a printer file that it can’t find anyway.

How about putting it to sleep instead of shutting down? I can't find a solution for your problem...

Thanks for all your workarounds. I just want it properly fixed.

Maybe somebody else can help….
