Cant scan to OCR or use printer display while ink is low

[Ojvv]

I am past frustrated with this printer. For many years I have been using HP printers but regret this purchase as everything from setup to getting it to work to user friendliness scaling display has been an issue.

I need to be able to scan an editable PDF or word as I need to be able to scan documents that's in another language to translate it online. Previously I could scan a document and the drop down boxes gave me all options on my old Officejet. Now I am forced to work through the hp smart app which only allow photo or basic pdf as options, then I cannot copy the text in the pdf. How can I scan OCR or at least be able to copy the text from a pdf(old scanning I could select searchable pdf on scan and it works perfect).

Now I want to look at the settings but my printer display is locked at a page saying hp instant in can be ordered and you cant click ok, that screens stays locked. if I open the app and click in help and support a French page pops up and I don't understand anything. If I manually try to install downloaded drivers for the printer the setup hangs at a point and does not continue. Can anyone please help and let me know how to scan OCR or searchable pdf?

I  have the same problem. Bought 2 HP printers OfficeJet Pro 9014 and both have the same problem. When ink gets low it shows a message on the display and I can't use the display anymore, it is locked with this message. There is an OK-button but the display doesn't respond. Without the display I can't make a quick copy or use the display for anything to scan or print. I am forced to use the crappy HP smart app on a computer. I hat the 8025 printers before and they worked great but the 90-series looks and feels much cheaper and has not the quality I expected from HP. It looks like HP needs to save money and the saved on everything with 90-series. I am really disappointed.

You sum it up perfectly. Crappy printer money wasted at a time I really cant
