No, not more problems. Just an update on my recent usage.
My desktop has both wifi and USB connected to the printer. So the blue
light shows that wifi is on.
Today I thought to test out the scanner, built in. First I tried to
connect simple scan to it. No way, it just said there was no scanner
available.
So I had a look at the help files. It seems that I can scan, but I have
to use HP Smart, already installed on my new phone. It took a while,
but got it sorted. It does a good job too.
One change I now noticed is that the blue wifi light no longer shows
when I am using my desktop computer to print. It has obviously settled
on the USB link. I can still print from my laptop, which must be using
the wifi link. So far so good.
Just leaves me wondering, what about someone who has bought this
printer, but does not have a smart phone? (Remember that my new phone
arrived just one day before the printer was delivered, so I had a lot of
learning to do.)
Do modern printer manufacturers expect everyone to have a smart phone?
Strange, if that is the case. So it seems that anyone buying a modern
printer will need one. Weird or what??
