HP 2.16.1 downloading ”updating” 3 times in 1 day? What’s this all about? I’m using latest OSX on MBPro

Hewlett Packard (HP) Printer Software Update ver. 2.16.1 has auto-installed/downloaded twice within the past few days and now, today, the App Store wants to download 2.16.1 HP Printer Software Update for a 3rd time!?! Same version all 3 times. What’s this all about? Is something acting up or is this normal? Really strange that it'd want 3 copies of 2.16.1....

Please advise what I should do.

I’m using latest Mavericks OSX (10.9.2) on Macbook Pro (mid-2012).


Thank you,

A

I don't know the cause and I haven't heard of that before, but

I think you should try some generic maintenence:

Startup from the Recovery Partition, and repair the hard drive and repair permissions with disk utility.
