The problem with that is the Easy Start stub not only downloads the proper driver, but then proceeds to insist on installing tons of crap ware, 'customer feedback' software (aka telemetry spyware), and sign you up for the HP ink program, and so on.

Either way that doesn't say much about the MU internal process. This update was released by Apple on Octo(2017, not 2018), making it over a year old. So, today MU 'reposted' this HP PRinter Driver 5.1 update, rebranding it with a Decemdate.
