I've been here for a while and I often see drivers requests here. I took a look at this question and it's basically it. OP just asks drivers for his printer.

A quick search on Google for it pops up the HP page (not quite, that specific printer latest drivers are for Windows XP, so it will be more difficult to install that printer on a newer system) for the drivers. It's pretty straightforward, isn't it? Then, to help him, we just copy the link that we got from the search and paste into a comment.

I think it's kinda useless (these questions) because:

1. It will only be useful for those who have the exact same printer model.
2. It can be outdated because OS have updates (e.g. Windows 7 to 10) and the current driver given can not work on a newer OS.

For me, these questions should be closed. Maybe we could create a custom close flag for this (where, in the description, will be given a quick explanation on how to search for drivers).

It also helps the user this way because in the next time the user knows how to search for drivers.

Any opinions?

Update: Found this answer by harrymc that I found very useful (it's basically a guide) to this topic. Maybe we could create a Q&A topic here and link it when a question like this pops out?
