Hi. I have an HP ENVY Inspire 7955e all in one printer. I want to allow my daughter, who lives in another state, to be able to print things to my printer. Is this possible? On an older printer there was an email address that could be used to do this, but it doesn't seem like that is available anymore. How else can this be done? Thanks.

Welcome to the HP Community --
Your "e" printer is eligible for HP+ .
If HP+ is available in your region,
If you are willing to live with the requirements for HP+,
Print Anywhere is available as part of the HP+ service.
Printer Anywhere takes the place of the old ePrint tech.
Although not quite as straight forward to set up and use, Print Anywhere does not suffer ePrint structure limitations.
Once HP+ is enabled, you can "Invite" your daughter to print on your printer.
Daughter will need to load and use the HP Smart application -- Yes, this does require she sign into the app using her HP Account credentials. Account create / sign in: HP Account - Login / Dashboard
