Product: HP Lasterjet MFW 140w
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Why has HP taken this decision to force people to log in to scan? This raises serious security concerns for anyone needing to scan confidential or commercially sensitive documents. My LaserJet will not even be recognised by any other software rendering it a 6kg doorstop.

You have an offline installation that doesn't require an account for M140W

Nope I have done all of this. I am not going to carry on fighting with a badly designed and intrusive "service"
