HP psc 1210 - do I need the software?
I just got a used HP psc 1210 printer. Does the software need to be
installed for the printer and scanner to work? Can I just install the drivers and still get the printer and scanner to work? I'd prefer not to install the software if it's not needed. |

HP psc 1210 - do I need the software?
I feel your pain.
HP printer packages now tend to come with an assortment of applications for various purposes. E.g., graphics file/picture management, printer supply ordering. However, for operation of the printer and scanner, you need just the basic drivers. Sometimes, you can download just those from their web site. Otherwise, you have to get the entire package and do a custom install to select for installation just the components you want. -- Tom MSMVP 1998-2007 "Mike S." wrote in message ...

Some recent hp printers only give you two choices: install the drivers plus bloatware or the drivers plus even more bloatware. -- Lem -- MS-MVP To the moon and back with 2K words of RAM and 36K words of ROM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer http://history.nasa.gov/afj/compessay.htm |
