I have no idea what happened, but here I am. I bought a new one. It was $40 for an all in one. I hope it works!!!

It used to be so easy. Now it won't even recognize the printer serial number that's on the printer. I think it was $80. Bought it in the fall.

HP DeskJet 2734e is what I bought to replace my 4630

I hate that sh*t. Why do I need an email address (let alone a credit card) to freaking print?!? I have to log into your site to be able to print? This is so insidious.

As an IT Support person for 20 years, this kind of stuff makes me insane.

Note: I have an HP Envy, which I have been printing to via wireless with few problems. But if I want to Scan anything, it makes me log into their website.

.. and anything else I could think of. Finally I saw a project pop up on an older version of the HP Smart app. I'm stunned. Maybe it's working now.

It has been a really great printer until now.

So much can go wrong along the way. Even some unrelated driver or a wireless connection needing attention. This printer is way too fancy. Lights up - multicolored!! - and has bells and whistles!
