Printer Driver

Hey folks, I'm looking for a printer driver for an HP LaserJet 4050 for 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Officially, HP doesn't support this printer/OS configuration.
What's likely to be the best place to look to check if the driver has been updated?
It's been so damn long since I looked for printer drivers for OS X I just don't know where to look.

CUPS? Common Unix Printing Solution ( or System) may help.

Shouldn't be an issue - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01664444#N2382

Re: Printer Driver

The printer is being used wirelessly, does it need to be AirPrint compatible to be used in this way with Mountain Lion?

	Quote: With the release of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, HP is providing updated print drivers and software for your printer. These updates are available through Apple Software Update . You do not need to download a driver from HP to use your printer with Mountain Lion.

So, I guess, it should be in an update.

Re: Printer Driver

Cheers man.
This is all being done via remote support, so not the most ideal of situations for me, but thanks for the help.
