HP Smart Print as Printer Option

[31East]

I just purchased an HP Color Laserjet Pro MFP M283cdw. I previously owned an HP Officejet 8710 MFP. With the old printer, I had set up HP Smart Print to show up as a available printer. I have since forgotten how I did that. Anybody know?

==============================

Printer - HP Smart / HP Smart Printing queue

If you are referring to HP Smart Printing, the print queue is separate from the HP Smart application.

That said, HP Smart should likely install the HP Smart Printing queue when you install the app.

HP Smart is an application available in the Microsoft Store

OR

Open the Homepage / Support Website for your printer

Category Software and Drivers > Check/ Get the App

HP Smart application - supports printing and scanning PDF and Photos / Images.  HP Smart is supported in many regions and on many newer networked printers - The app is available from the  Microsoft Store . HP Smart requires that you sign in using your HP Account credentials. HP Smart benefits when the full driver printer software is also installed.

HP Smart Printing – When supported, “Smart Printing” is an installed HP Smart driver option in the printer list. Access HP Smart Printing when choosing the Printer to be used in the current job setup. Example: Open HP Smart > Open the content to be printed > Printer (list – top left of menu) > Select HP Smart Printing -- Note – HP Smart Printing supports Custom Presets (Shortcuts) and printing in Word.

==============================

Printer - Full Feature Software / Full Software Solution

There is also a Full Feature Software / Full Software Solution driver set for this printer along with the Universal Print Driver.

If you are running a supported version of Windows, consider installing the Full Driver printer software.

The following might be true for Laser printers:

HP Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software - supports printing and scanning from the web, printing in in other software and programs (for example, Word), and provides access to the full range of Printing Preferences / Shortcuts.  The full driver adds at least two shortcuts to the Desktop: Printer Assistant and HP Scan. If the printer model includes built-in Fax hardware, the software supports the setup and use of the Fax driver. No Sign-in required.

==============================

Printer - Universal Scan Software

There is also (again, for Windows), the Universal Scan Software -- the USS installs as a stand alone or can be installed after you install the Full Feature / Full Software driver.

HP Universal Scan Software - Model and Operating System version Dependent >> HP Universal Scan Full Feature Software adds OCR libraries to installed HP Scan software. HPUS installs a new, full featured, (and separate) HP Scan software shortcut to the Desktop. Note: When supported, HPUS can be installed as standalone or installed after the full feature printer software.
