My printer is the HP Officejet Pro 8715. Originally the printer/scan feature was stand alone. How do I install this feature on my new computer for the same printer? I do not want to use the HP Smart app.

@YoFella, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
You can install the printer and scanner feature for your HP OfficeJet Pro 8715 on your Windows 11 computer without using the HP Smart app by following these steps:
Install Using Windows Built-in Drivers
Connect the Printer
- Connect your printer to the computer using USB or Wi-Fi.
- Ensure the printer is powered ON.
Add Printer via Windows Settings
- Open Settings (Press Win + I).
- Go to Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners.
- Click Add device and select your printer from the list.
- If Windows does not find it automatically, click Add manually, choose Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Install Windows Drivers (If Needed)
- If the printer is detected but missing features, go to Device Manager (Win + X > Device Manager).
- Expand Printers or Imaging devices.
- Right-click your HP OfficeJet Pro 8715 and select Update driver > Search automatically for drivers.
Install Full HP Drivers Without HP Smart App
Download the Full Driver Package (Without HP Smart)
- Visit the official HP Software and Drivers
- Search for HP OfficeJet Pro 8715.
- Download HP Full Feature Software and Driver (avoid "HP Smart" version).
Install the Software
- Run the downloaded .exe file.
- Follow the on-screen instructions, choosing USB or Network (Wi-Fi/Ethernet) setup.
- Do NOT sign in to HP Smart if prompted—select "Skip" or "Continue without HP Smart."
Verify Scanner Functionality
- Open Control Panel (Win + R > type control > Enter).
- Go to Devices and Printers > Right-click your printer > Start scan.
Use Windows Scan Instead of HP Smart
- Open the Windows Scan app (Win + S > search Scan).
- Select your HP OfficeJet Pro 8715 from the list.
- Adjust settings and start scanning.
This method ensures you get the standalone print/scan feature without using HP Smart. Let me know if you need further assistance! 😊
Take care, and have an amazing day!
