I'm frustrated with what appears to be nearly a requirement to use HPSmart App.  Installing drivers stand-alone, hang the printing from apps, etc; only way I can print right now is thru HPSmart, it's slow, and also appears to be problematic when we change from location to location, where other HPSmart printers are installed. I'm finding it major pain. Is there really an option to go simply back to a "full driver instal" and not have the complexity, login, etc. for HP Smart!?

Download the full software-driver from hp.com and run the installer and follow instructions

This has worked in past, now it seems to be "stuck" in the "network device installation" step. And eventually fails. I see a lot of print queues in Device manager associated with past attempts; super frustrating at this point.
