I've tried reinstalling, drivers cannot be found, and the stupid HP app only prints PDFSs?????

 

Every other month, I have to do this. Just work, just make a printer that ALWAYS works, that is ALWAYS online, that is just simple "plug and play".

 

Now, I have a wireless printer that WON'T PRINT wirelessly. I plugged in the USB and now it want's to work.

 

THIS IS THE LAST HP PRINTER THAT I WILL EVER BUY.

Solution:

Walk over to your barely wireless printer and tell it to RECONNECT to the network.

Uninstall your printer (ie forget it in the stupid HP app & your computer)

Install your printer from Printer and Scanners on your computer

Complete installation with the stupid HP app.

Wait forever for HP to get it's own drivers...

Look for alternative printer companies to buy from, never get an HP again.

Save up money for a new printer and use the HP one for target practice or revenge on your enemy.

Because the stupid app tells you to install from Windows but the driver is still missing.
