If it's a scanner too, you can't use half of it.

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There are scanner drivers that allow units to work with the built in scanner app. My brother printer did that. No special app need for printing or scanning.

Yeah, but for hp I'm pretty sure you need an app

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I have no “app” and my HP Laserjet works great and scanning is perfectly functional.

There’s basic driver software, but it’s not some clunky bullshit app thing.

Huh, on my model I have to use the hp scan app, otherwise, no dice

[–] Uriel_Copy@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Maybe try NAPS2. It saved me a few times, even when the HP apps couldn't do it

Thanks, I will
