HP Recommended
Product: HP Deskjet 3631
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

First, I can't find ANY support for 3631.  Only 3630.  It says 3631 right on the printer which I purchased from Best Buy.  Second, I go to the HP website.  It says "Get in touch with one of our support agents" with a "contact us" link.  I click that and the next screen says "sign in for the easiest path to all your support options" so I sign in.  It shows my printer so I click on it.  The very next screen says "Sign in is required for some support options".  Seriously?!  I literally JUST signed in 2 steps ago!  So I resign in and it tells me the warranty has expired.  Does that mean I can't get ANY tech support?  I'm not trying to get anything replaced.  I want to know what is going on with my printer.  I open the HP smart app.  Everything loads.  It shows my ink levels.  It says printer is READY.  Yet when I try to use ANY of the app functions, it says "Printer is not available."  Seriously?!  Which is it?? READY OR NOT AVAILABLE??  How is it that it tells me the ink levels and "ready" status but it's not available???  Then I tried resetting the printer.  I followed all the steps.  It said to reconnect my phone back to my wifi network.  Then it said it was connecting the printer to "HP Services".  Then the next message was "Cannot obtain printer details.  Tap retry to connect to your printer again."  No matter how many times I clicked retry, nothing happened!  ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!!
