I have a 5640e that has died …. Bought a new 7007 Smart Tank.

Will install using the ‘app’ on the phone also trigger correct new software to be installed, or do I let W11 detect prinrer & install required s/w

Hi @Sargan 

1. First install printer using the app on the phone.

 

2. And then install HP App for your Windows 11 computer:

>>  HP app for Windows (Microsoft Store)
