Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

W11 25H2

 

I had an HP 4630 printer - this had an icon in Task bar for easy access to print/scan/inks  etc

Today I removed all HP s/w and installed a 7007 Smart Tank

Followed all necessary instructions for installing via APP then added it to W11 PC 

 

There is no Task bar icon for HP Smart  or the scanner app etc.    Nor anything icon on desktop.

Should there be, or can I add one ?

Click the windows key  and list the applications.  Look for "HP":   The bright blue icon at the top is the new HP App that takes the place of HP Smart

If you do not see a list then select LIST instead of catagory.

Thank you for reply - done

 

Not very good that the extensive install procedure incluing App install does not provide a desk top or task bar icon.

A squeaking wheel is the only one that gets the oil.
