Long story short, I had trouble printing to an older HP deskjet, so I tried to find a driver...no luck. Only way to get it working apparently is to install the HP app on my phone...did that, printer still didn't work and my guardian angel app on PC and phone blocked over 100 attempts to access my info.
Now, I don't believe that HP are trying to do me any harm, but honestly...it's a printer ffs!
I did find a work-around that worked ok, and also allowed me to use my Epson scanner which hates Windows 10 and has no drivers...but why do we have to suffer these hassles?
I'm a complete amateur with IT, but I didn't want to dump the printer (cheap) or the scanner (expensive) jusr because I had my PC updated to Windows 10.
Now both work fine, and I have found a reason to keep my laptop running 8.1 and my netbook running xp!
Smart?
NOT!
Lights work with a switch, I like that!
My HP printer just throws a wobbly for no reason
Works fine for days... prints from any laptop, any device.... Its wifi, so no cables between....
I want to do a quote that must be, has to be sent tonight... and the damn thing goes "no..... not responding"
In the huff.
It takes a reboot of windows, and a power cycle of the printer... all while im standing on one leg... its the only thing that seems to work
