Respectfully, the above HP printer, HP Deskjet F4172 All-in-One Printer, its Solution Center works with adobe flash player and it is told that the Printer does not work without the flash player, regarding that after 31 December the adobe flash player does not  support it ; it is urged to delete it due to the security issue of the PC, what is the alternative for the above HP printer? will any new update be lunched by the HP in order that the users are able to continue using the above printer? thanking you

Thanking for your message, respectfully, this is my question whether the Solution center of my printer, HP Deskjet F4172 All-in-One Printer (the following link), will work if I delete the Adobe Flash Player? without uninstalling and reinstalling my above printer, because some people tell that the above printer works well without flash player and some people tell ,"no, the above printer will not work without flash player", thanking you again.

Thanking you, I have already contacted with the HP support for two times, but they told me that they would not help me because  my HP Printer( HP Deskjet F4172) was out of the warranty, and so, I had to to buy a new HP printer (HP Deskjet 2720) in order to do my job, the copy of their email is as following:

Its translation from Dutch to English using Google translator:
