Product: HP All In One Printer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I was just wondering how many HP users like having to sign into HP to be able to use their HP printers? All I wanted to do was scan a document today and I had to log into HP before I could do it. This makes no sense at all is is pure bovine scatology. There is no need at all for HP to require a login for someone to use their printer. I have been an HP customer for over 30 years, but if they keep this type of stuff up I will have to switch to another companies products.

Not all printers require a login to scan. It can also depend on how you installed the printer and what applications you are using. Most printers have an option of downloading a full installation that does not require any login, however you have not stated which model of printer you have so I cannot make any suggestions.
