HP 3005PR keeps installing

Hello Sander,

This is by design of Windows, yes, unfortunately.
You can see that if you connect the same peripheral (like a USB drive, mouse...) to different USB ports of the same machine, it will create a new installation.

The way Windows works is that it kind of does a driver instance per connection path (port), per device serial number.
Windows doesn't look at the model for the full machine.

Kind regards,
Alban
