HP Smart software

[SteveFoor]

When I use HP Smart, the options are not displayed correctly. Only half the words are displayed in the option boxes.  Is this a function of the HP Smart software, or how I set my display up?  This is the only place this happens.  Also, I would rather have the driver loaded locally and not have to go to the internet to use it.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

My personal opinion is that the odd cut-off fonts have more to do with the application than it does with "something" being wrong in your Operating System or screen display.  I've seen what you describe in a few of the boxes in certain menus.  I could be missing something, of course.  I admit I've stopped looking for a solution since I can, in fact, use the app.  Meh.

True - HP Smart makes use of -- and supports -- options that require access to the network, the Internet, and (when used) Cloud Storage accounts.

Use of HP Smart in Windows is always optional.

Install the Full Feature Software.

The Full Feature Software provides access to print and scan features supported by the printer.

Printer - Full Feature Software - Install

If you have not done so, consider

• HP Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software - supports printing and scanning from the web, printing in in other software and programs (for example, Word), and provides access to the full range of Printing Preferences / Shortcuts.  The full driver adds at least two shortcuts to the Desktop:  Printer Assistant and HP Scan.  If the printer model includes built-in Fax hardware, the software supports the setup and use of the Fax driver.  No Sign-in required.

If the full driver printer software is (already) installed but not working,

• Uninstall any printer software from Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features
• Restart the computer and sign in.

Next,

• Check (for the Printer) in Devices and Printers  > If found, Right-Click Printer and Remove -- If any changes are made, that is, you remove anything, Restart the computer and sign in.

Next,

• If using a printer USB cable between the printer and the computer, disconnect the cable before installing the printer software.

• Download and Save the Full Feature Software installation package or the Easy Start Software
