Stupid HP..

[pegasus216]

I bought a new HP printer yesterday, and Karen, and I worked on that thing for over 3 hours, and could not get it hooked up to the computer. No matter what we did it would not connect.
I took it back this morning, and got my money back.
Then I bought a Canon for half the price I paid for the HP. Brought it home, and Karen hooked it up, and got it connected in about a half hour.
I am done with HP products.
Read online that lots of other people are having the same problem with connecting the HP printers.
They will be losing a lot of money if they don't make it more simple to connect the printer to the computer.
I sent a feedback to HP about all the trouble we had, and I got an answer this morning. I told them to never mind, that I got a Canon, and had no problem getting it connected.
Ok, vent over!

I thought this thread was going to be about HP Lovecraft!
We have an HP printer and it was easy to hook up.

I've always used HP printers and I have owned many of them. I have had many of them with weird software installation issues like yours. I bought an incredible color laserjet a few months ago but had to jump through hoops to get the software installed. I found a forum on the internet that told me I had to change a file during the middle of the software installation to get the software installed. I had about a 5 second window to get this done and had to try several times to beat the clock but it worked and my printer is all kinds of awesome. But you are right, it is so frustrating that they can't get their software issues corrected.

I've had both HP and Canon printers and never had a problem installing either brand. Currently, I have a HP printer and a Canon scanner. They play very well together.

A lesson the world can learn from.

I thought that HP meant high blood pressure.

Spoiler: HP sauce

I think that is what pegasus got when she attempted to hook up her printer (High blood pressure that is, not the sauce!)

You are right! I was ready to throw it out the window!
Go buy a new one, and see what happens!! That is a dare to any of you!!

My pc is HP but my printer/scanner is Canon. I've never even used the scanner so I couldn't tell you if it works or not.

When I went to report the vandalism on my tent trailer to the cops three doors down recently I told him it was 23 feet long when opened up;

He said "That's a big one"

Of course I had to say:
That's what she said

I got a call from the HP people this afternoon. They explained that not all windows 10 computers are compatible with the HP printers. Then why say it on the damned box?
I didn't talk to him, but he left a voicemail, and wanted me to call him at my convenience. He is going to be waiting a long time.
My PC is a HP, and I had always had HP printers, until now.

pegasus216 , I thought this thread meant you were mad at Harry Potter for some reason . I hope your printer cooperates with you soon!

Been using HPs since the '90s, but I live in an HP town, so I have a lopsided loyalty. Anyway, my main complaints are 1) there was one out of the 20 or so that I've bought that was a stinker, and 2) I can't kill them, so they end up hanging around longer than their expected lifespan.

Windows can be befuddling. I went to print something last night, and one of my HPs (1606) was no long an option. What? Went to Add Printer, added it, and I was printing again within 30 seconds. But it had to be a Windows issue. I don't think the HP printer is deleting itself.

IMO, Hp can suck an egg!

Why take it out on the customer service rep? He didn't develop the software HP uses. He's just trying to help you since you called them initially.
