@Ruby Devine: You DON'T have to buy a SmartFriend subscription, at least I didn't. I absolutely refused!! Instead, I just hooked up my new HP printer via a USB cord directly to my PC and once my PC recognized the new device & installed the latest drivers, I was good to go. All I have to do is click on 'Print' on whatever I want printed and it works, WITHOUT having to pay $3.00 a month for a subscription (in order to print 50 copies per month which I never print that many copies in a month anyhow). You can also scan items directly from your PC too. But I don't think you'll be able to use the wireless connection without giving in and paying a monthly fee to HP (what a scam!!!). I was in the same situation as you; I was trying to figure out how to use the **bleep** thing without having to pay a monthly fee & by then it was too late to return it to get my money back. You DON'T need to pay extra to HP just to print a few copies every month, that's just a rip-off by HP. I will never buy another HP product again and when this printer stops working, you'd better believe I'll just go out & get one made by a different company.
