Hi ,Till recently when I wanted to print from my PC,I got the command Print or Cancel at the bottom of the print screen.

Now the Print command is gone and I get a command to "Save".

How can I get the command "Print"?

Welcome to the HP Community --

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

Printer Software

 

In many cases, particularly if you have been able to get the preliminary network connection working, you can finalize the setup by installing (or reinstalling) the Full Feature Software.

 

Relevant to supported versions of Windows

 

 

If you have not done so, consider

 

  • HP Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software - supports printing and scanning from the web, printing in in other software and programs (for example, Word), and provides access to the full range of Printing Preferences / Shortcuts.  The full driver adds at least two shortcuts to the Desktop:  Printer Assistant and HP Scan.  If the printer model includes built-in Fax hardware, the software supports the setup and use of the Fax driver.  No Sign-in required.

 

If the full driver printer software is (already) installed but not working,

  • Uninstall any printer software from Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features
  • Restart the computer and sign in.

Next,

  • Check (for the Printer) in Devices and Printers  > If found, Right-Click Printer and Remove -- If any changes are made, that is, you remove anything, Restart the computer and sign in.I

Next,

  • If using a printer USB cable between the printer and the computer, disconnect the cable before installing the printer software.
  • Download and Save the Full Feature Software installation package or the Easy Start Software

 

Details Page - Driver - For your Printer

>>> Full Feature Software - Web Pack Installation Package - Information - Download  <<<

HP Easy Start Printer Setup Software – Offline Use Only  

 

Installation

  • Open File Explorer (formally Windows Explorer)
  • Navigate to the folder in which you saved the installation file  (likely Downloads)
  • Right-Click on the installation package and “Run as Administrator
  • If using a printer USB cable between the printer and the computer, connect the cable when instructed (near the end of the installation).
  • After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

Dragon Fur,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately it was a little too complicated for my computer skills.

Thanks anyway.

P.S.I already have HP Smart on my PC

You are welcome.

 

Understood.

 

If you decide to do so, take another look at the nice video to help you understand the installation process.

 

Reprint:

Video - Printer Software - Installation

 HP DeskJet 2700 series Printer: Download Offline Copy of Software and Install on Win 10 computer

 

 

I admit I've been installing software for so many years that the process seems easier to me.

There are other videos to try if that one is "over the top".

 

Technology Tips Gallery from our HP Expert greenturtle

In your browser, open page:

 Technology Tips DeskJet 2700

Scroll the list and pick a video that looks like the one you need or want.

 

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

 

Understood that you have HP Smart installed.  Nice app but it won't fix the default printer setting.

If the instructions seem unclear to you, look for something that can help you understand.

Search on the Internet for "Set Default Printer" to find other how-to sources to fix / check / set the default printer.

 

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

 

The "Printer Software" section in the first post is a written instruction of the process used to uninstall existing printer software, find and download a new copy of the install package, and install that printer software onto your computer.

 

Ignore what you don't understand.

 

Use the bits you can to search for alternatives.

 

 

Good Luck.
