HP Smart is complete ass lmao. I have an HP laser printer that prints well, but it's always a headache to start printing anything wirelessly from my laptop. Can only ever rely on the ol' USB cable.
I am really confused, becuase HP Smart Scanner takes like 2-3 min to Scan a page, GNOMs build in Scanner takes 3-5 seconds with the same printer. Like how is your software this bad.
"Smart" = dumb
If only our old HP (which's server died years ago) wouldn't rename itself randomly on USB.
But seriously, get a Raspi or similiar and create a printserver. Saver too, than HP's built in.
HP Smart does suck, although the cheap HP printer/scanner we picked up in 2020 for home schooling has been pretty reliable. A couple of the colour nozzles clogged after an extend period without use, but it's on the £1 a month cartridge rental so I just kept re-running the cleaning cycle until it worked again.
