Robert,
I just did a Google search to see if I could come up with anything that
has been missed. Near the top of the list it already shows your original
PCTT post as well as Sandi's initial reply. I guess we gotta get this thing
figured out for sis so that others can find the fix when they Google the
problem in the future. :O)
After reading some of the other listings, my simplest conclusion is that
the bundled software is faulty at best. The various printer, scanner,
copier and fax functions, along with its ability to be used as a network
unit for each of the same functions , doesn't depend on this bundled
software for it to work. In other words, she is not tied to using only the
software that came with the unit. All of this devices abilities should work
using nothing more than the latest drivers from the HP site. The only real
loss would be that the bundled junk has a decent interface that places all
of the functions together in the same window, making access to anything
she'd want to do relatively easy.
My suggestion, which probably requires you to go to her place, would be
to uninstall the bundle completely and test the functions without it. If
there's anything that requires an easier way to access, seek out (or simply
ask here) if there are any known good free alternatives for what you need.
Again, most of what the unit can do can be done without ANY special software
installed (HP proprietary or otherwise). The unit's driver is what controls
most of the user changable settings.
At the very least, uninstall the bundle and update the unit's driver tot
he latest available at the HP site. Then, go on a discovery tour of the
driver's capabilities.
Peace,
GMan
