Product: HP DeskJet 4155e All-in-One Printer

BE CAREFUL !  I have never done this before, but someone else told me they had to go online to set up their computer with their HP printer, and I ended up on the phone with someone who I gave access to my computer (YES I KNOW NOT TO DO THIS). I thought I was talking to HP but was select-printers.site - Ironically, he did manage to get my printer to print a test sheet. I then realized I something was up and spent the next hour on with Apple to see if I had managed to download any malware. I can't believe I let some stranger take over my computer. I think Malwarebytes saved me but I'll be changing passwords. 

I still can't print documents, but can print test pages. Downloaded HP Smart, but be careful who you talk to. I have a feeling HP doesn't ask for remote access to your computer.
