yellow triangle in system tray

[Steve3491]

I have a yellow triangle that shows up in the bottom right corner of my screen--in the system tray--on top of the blue HP question mark.   I can't get rid of it.   It's the same thing every time--there are two errors (Windows and iOS) telling me that my printer isn't on the network.

My printer works fine.   It will scan, copy, print and send emails.   There isn't a problem.   It's true that I turn it off for several days at a time, but I hate to waste the energy.

I have followed the instructions in the Windows message three times.   The triangle returns in an hour or a day.   I dislike receiving the messages on iOS, since I don't use that system on a Windows computer.

This triangle has been present--continuously--for the last six weeks, as I've just tried to ignore it, since there seems to be nothing wrong with the computer and a diagnostic printout tells me the computers email address and says that things are fine.   The way I use my printer, it works great!

Just want to lose the triangle!

Try / Consider:

Click on the Blue ? to open the HP Support Assistant >

Click Settings > scroll down a little ways >

Under Choose how you would like to be notified >

UNCHECK all the little boxes > Save

HP Support Assistant will likely disappear from the Task Bar.

Poof.
