Is there full feature software for HP ENVY 7800 instead of using HP smart app

[Jezebelle18]

Is there full feature software for HP ENVY 7800 instead of using HP smart ap?  Do I have to uninstall the smart ap first before I install full feature download?  and why is the smart ap forced upon us? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

Welcome to the HP Community --

Yes - there is a Full Feature Software option for this series.

HP Smart is compatible with most modern printers -- as a default option the app helps quickly install and set up a printer for more immediate use.   It's also a clever application in some ways. 

For example,

• HP Smart works with the HP Smart Printing Queue for conflict free job submission and using Custom Presets / Shortcuts
• HP Smart can easily print multiple images on a singe sheet of paper
• HP Smart understands how to assist in the setup of PDF and Photo scan and print jobs

==========================================

In the case of this printer series and Windows, use of HP Smart is entirely optional.

No, you need not uninstall the HP Smart application to install and use other apps and software.
