HP Envy 6555e All-in-One Printer

Around 3 weeks ago, I have a problem with my printer HP Envy 6555e, I couldn't print anything when I received an email to my adress:  Edited I've communicated with HP a virtual agent didn't solve the problem, even when I spoke with an agent in Tunisia.  With HP Smart. it is shown the printer is READY and under the picture of the printer, there is a message showing: 2 printers, this is "fake news" (Trump would say). I have only 1 printer. The one I had before was the same I actually in my possession, I've returned it to HP because something wrong was detected. Could you solve this isssue, I'll be grateful to you if a solution is found.

-- Important --

If you receive any "helpful" emails as a result of having posted your private email for all to see, I urge you to caution.  Strangers emailing you and claiming to be helpful might be just the opposite, in fact. 

 

Scammers love your private data.

 

If you did allow someone into your computer that you do not know, you have worse problems than just handing out your email address.   Consider what you have on the computer and what might have been compromised.  Change all your passwords and complete a deep scan of your computer using your own security software.

Document includes links to USA and Canadian authorities to report the incident.

Next,

 

The two printers showing in the HP Smart application can be corrected to show only the printer you want.

 

Remove the defunct printer from the HP Smart application.

 

That means,

Open the HP Smart app

Open Printer Settings

Remove or Hide the unwanted printer.

 

HP_Smart_Win_Main_Menu_13

 

Next,

-- What about HP App? --

 

Upgrade to the HP App (Introduction and information is provided later in this message).  HP App is the replacement for HP Smart.

 

At some point, perhaps even now, HP Smart will no longer be available in the  Microsoft Store  .

 

There are at least two possible consequences to this:

  • Were there a version fix for the reported HP Smart "Scan - Save - Off-Center" bug, it can be more difficult to actually obtain a fixed version of the HP Smart app.
  • Any constant request to update HP Smart is perhaps because the app cannot be updated through the conventional means.   There are caveats to that comment, none of which matter in context.
