HP Printers, Awesome... HP Software, Not So Much!
This is pretty much how I feel about them and pretty much in that order.
So we had an HP M2727nf All-in-One working through the network but little by little it has deteriorated, to the point that the bottom & upper trays no longer works so we use the middle small tray.
We bought a new All-in-One for Networking purposes and there is no other way but to install their bloatware but ok, no big deal, I can deal with that and the OCR scanning software of the newer model is way better than the M2727nf. OK, all is good, I trim a little of the bloatware fat and on the way we go.
Now, the old M2727nf still performs its printing duties more than adequate so I decide to use it as my default printer but these asshats want me to install the full suite solution software as well instead of having the option to install only a printer driver so I can print... WTF?
Is there anyway to bypass this and just use it as a printer?
