J4680
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Have a Inkjet J4680 & running Win 10 64 bit. My HP Solution Center has been working perfectly for a few years. On one of the most recent upgrades it stopped working. I deleted & reinstalled the printer software & all I get is a graphic F & i see attached. I went to the HP site but couldn't find a "Work around". I ONLY use this for Faxing. Thats all I need.

@mvpfrank, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Adobe has stopped supporting the Flash player that was required for HP Solution Center. There is no update on new software as of now.

 

Install the printer using Windows built-in driver

Refer to this document to know how. Try printing.

Note: If the printer is not found in the list, try Deskjet 990c or Deskjet 6980 to install the printer as these are the generic printer drivers.

 

You may use HP Scan and Capture app to scan from your computer

 

If this does not helps, I suggest you upgrade the printer. You may visit Hp Store to check the available printers

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

There is a quick fix which was listed above. Temporarily change the date on your pc to 1/11/21 & it will work. Then just change it back
