My Photosmart 7520 stopped feeding paper (makes bad sounds).  I love everything this printer does (print documents & photos, scans to files, copy, etc. (everything)).    I have had this printer for 7 years and thought it would be easy to purchase a new printer with BETTER features (not so).    I could not find ANY printer I liked - SO - I bought 4 used Photosmart 7515 & 7520 printers.    They all work great (just like my OLD 7520).

 

My question ----- Is there a program similar to "HP Photosmart 7520 series.exe" for the 7515 ?     Many of you may not know of this program (I am not sure how I found it many years ago).   What this program does is interfaces with the 7520 printer showing ink levels, controls scanning of documents & photos, printer tools to clean print heads, etc., etc., etc. - wonderful program.

The Full Feature Software installs the full driver that you describe.

After the software is installed, the Printer Assistant shortcut icon named for the printer is added to your Desktop

The Printer Assistant provides access to the print / scan / tool box as illustrated in your posted image.

 

Although the software is at least five years old (at this writing), it may still work with the latest versions of Windows 10 and is even more likely to still work with older versions of Windows.

You are welcome.

 

Years back I had two of these little printers (Photosmart 7520) - one in my home office and one for my Dad's house.  Dad, in particular, liked the ease with which he was able to print family photos that he then displayed on his work board.  As printers of this type are measured, both printers were useful and (for the most part) trouble free.

 

Happy Printing.
