updates, and utilities.

Software Updates and the HP Web Site
Most software on the HP Web site is packaged in compressed
files called SoftPaqs. Some ROM updates may be packaged in
compressed files called ROMPaqs.
Most download packages contain a file named Readme.txt. A
Readme.txt file contains information regarding installing and
troubleshooting the file. The Readme.txt files included with
ROMPaqs are provided in English only.
