    Best trick in the book is to download the Windows 7 version of the drivers or software package as it is all prior to this cloud BS. Install that in your windows 10 or 11 and it will all work as intended.

      Or just use linux with CUPS and you never have to let hp install spyware on your computer.

        Agreed but not everyone uses Linux. I do but not on every machine I own.

        I think you still need the proprietary drivers to use the scanner.

          I guess that’s probably true unfortunately. But official linux hp drivers are less annoying than their windows counterparts at least

          I’m not saying that you should do that as a solution to this one specific problem. I’m just pointing out there is a better way.

        Best trick then it to trash it and buy a new printer. Done keep on sending them money for ink.

      I just learned how to manually install PCL5 from the “Professionals ONLY!” Section of their driver download page.
