Product: HP 8720
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Starting this morning, the printer has this very distracting adverting mode. The screen constantly cycles through different features it has and stuff it does and doesn't shut off.
I don't want the printer to do this but just turn off the screen when not in use. It's very, VERY distracting. I don't like it and don't want it.
I have had the printer several years and it never did this before today, so why would they update to turn this stuff on?
I have tried pressing the home button and the back button but it only stops for a few seconds before it starts and flashes it's stuff at me. I can't seem to find a 'turn off ads' setting either.
HOW DO I STOP THESE ADS?
