HP printer Upgrade to a lower number release???

Nope, not gonna happen.

That is NOT a good reason.

I'm still sorting things out from the 10.8.2 upgrade. I'm not making any changes that aren't necessary.

You reinforce, if not confirm what I suspected about the version numbers, and that helps. But where would a normal customer person find this out?

None of the pages or screens associated with this 'update' talk about version numbers, much less make it clear that the update has a seperate version number from the software it's going to install. Every other software company I can think of says "Update to version X.Y.Z with the version X.Y.Z updater".

Unless there's some funny business going on, clearly the driver version 5.0 doesn't uptade the driver version 5.0...

But that doesn't answer my original question:

How do I get rid of this update notification?

And it brings up the question of why this 'update' notification is being pushed at me in the first place?

The other 'leading software company' gives me the option of refusing an update and tell it to go away and never come back. Is Apple now putting us on a tread-mill where we all have to do the same stuff even if we don't need it, aren't given enough information to evaluate what they're pushing, and not given the option to refuse?

You also skipped my question - the whole point of the post:

How do I get rid of this update notification?
