This issue remains. The HP Tech at the time suggested an uninstall of all HP Software and to add the printer back using AirPrint. This means that users cannot connect HP Multi-Function Printer via USB or use the HP Software (Scanner and Utility). This cannot be the recommended solution to this problem (i.e., don't use the HP Software).
Is there an update to this problem / fix by HP?
