    And that isn’t even getting into their drivers and software. Foolish me bought a printer with a scanner and thought I’d be able to just install one little piece of software and be able to print and scan. How silly of me to forget that I to search Google to find instructions that weren’t provided by HP, and download an application that the printer’s instructions did not tell me to install, in order to get the it working.

    I almost want this printer to die just so I can never own an HP printer again in my life.

      If you use Windows, you can just do the following:

      1. Go to the control panel, then devices and printers.
      2. Right click on your printer, but make sure it is connected first.
      3. You should be able to see “Scan” as one of the options, click on it.

      And you’re done! You do not need any special programs or anything like that because Windows already has a built-in one.
