HP+ app - yay or nay?

[SueFosters]

Just got new HP9015e printer. Part of the set-up was installing HP app, which I had on previous printer, and which is required. But it also offers HP+.  Says it offers “increased sustainability” and other catchy buzzwords. Also says this app offers ability to print from off-site, which I was able to do before thru HP app. Extends warranty from one year to two.  And if you don’t accept/join during set-up, you can’t join later. I’m inclined to decline, but I’m interested in other opinions on HP+. Thank you.

Welcome to the HP User Community.

HP+ is a service product.

True - HP+ is not mandatory, that is, your printer will work fine without the added benefits.

What is HP+?

Scroll down for the links to the HP+ Information website!

For example,

In exchange for you keeping the printer online and connected to anonymous data collection, HP will provide a longer Warranty.  This is a nice feature of the service.

The product requires you use only HP genuine ink cartridges.

HP+ (and select printers) provides access to HP Smart Advance (fancy scan, shortcuts, mobile options).  One or more of the features offered in HP Smart Advance might be available as part of the Full Feature Software (for example, detect multiple photos on the flatbed and save as separate files) or as part of the HP Smart options.  The "Smart Advance" product is in a long-term Trial (at this writing) - If / when the product goes "live", you will be provided the activity to subscribe or stop using the HP Smart Advance features.

HP+ includes exclusive access to HP+ help / setup / assistance for the printer.

For example, Open the printer website home page...
