This past week Apple has released an "HP Printer Drivers Update". Now, normally, I would simply click through and install the update. However, it's 90 MB in size. 90 MB isn't huge, but it's still 90 MB that I can use for something else. Also, I don't need these drivers.
If you're in the same predicament that I'm in, there's a simple way to never have to install the update: select it, then hit the Delete key. This will put it into your Ignored Updates list. (You can achieve the same effect by going to the "Update" menu and selecting "Ignore Update..."
Now, let's say that you buy this new super-awesome HP printer and now you need the drivers. Well, you can get the update back by going to "Software Update" menu and selecting "Reset Ignored Updates".

IMHO actual install size doesn't have to be 90 megs since it could just replace the old version of the drivers (maybe also 90MB in size). But don't know really, just guess :)
Well, according to TUAW, (and the comments) it can vary in size. They actually said that it was 405.1 MB.
