But while the printer is a nice little thing, the CD that comes with the software contained several bad things too many.

OK, it's my fault really. The wise thing to do would not have been to bung the CD in the drive and let it get on with the task. First of all, the disk took forever to install all sorts of crapware on my machine. That wouldn't be so bad, but the installation failed after 45 minutes of whirring away - it came up with a message saying it couldn't install the USB drivers because they were unsigned.

Bloatware is more and more annoying now day's. I remember when programs such as Nero burning rom were 1/10 of the size. Now its all extra bloat.
