HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e All-in-One Printer

So just put that in the room, the printer software leaves a lot to be desired. Because for the 6700 at least setup via software is still possible, with the new 8135e this is no longer available, I don't think it's so good to adjust.

Well, "no full driver" could be true for latest MacOS --

I do not have any Mac systems - I do not keep up with the current software setups for MacOS.

 

 

To date

Supported versions of Windows

The full driver printer software is available.

 

True -

  • The new full driver software is formatted differently than that of the old 6700.  There is no "fix" for that -- the software meets the requirements of the newer system.

 

  • The supported Windows versions are limited.  There is no "fix" for that.  Older OS versions cannot support the newly formatted software.

and

  • There is also a Universal Scan Software -
  • If you install the full driver, you do not need to install the Universal Scan Software.
  • The system will tolerate both HP Scan / HP Universal Scan being on the system at the same time.
  • HP Scan / HP Universal Scan are essentially the same software.

Operating systems:
  • Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)
  • Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
  • Microsoft Windows 11

 

Ask if you need additional "how-to" instructions.

 

Reminder

This system does not support the HP Printer Assistant shortcut icon on the Desktop .

Look for / use the HP Scan Assistant .

 

--------------------------------------------------------------

 

The installation of the full driver generally adds at least one or more shortcuts to the Desktop.

 

 Note Printer Assistant, HP Scan Assistant, and HP Scan are dependent on printer model and supported software options.

 

  • Printer Assistant – Where still supported as part of the full driver printer software
  • HP Scan – Shortcut on Desktop named for the printer model

OR

  • HP Scan Assistant – For those printers that no longer provide the Printer Assistant
  • HP Scan - Shortcut named for itself

AND / OR

  • When installed, HP Universal Scan software adds a separate self-named “HP Scan” shortcut
  • NOTE >> If you install the full driver printer software, installing HP Universal Scan as a standalone software from category Software & Drivers is not necessary.  The system will allow you to install both.
