Hi, Does anyone know a solution for Repeated setup when trying to open the Printing assistant app?
each time i try to open the application it starts a new setup, finishes setup saying your printer is now setup and ready to use but then redirects the setup window to HP Smart where there is no way to close or finish the setup, if i try to close the window it makes a reference to setup being incomplete.
