Printer icon missing from the taskbar.

Solved

Hello,

Following a reinstallation of Win10, I had to reinstall everything, including the printer.

Since HP no longer provides support for it, I settled for the generic Windows driver (which of course does not offer all the features provided by the HP driver!).

I have no icon in the taskbar and therefore cannot scan a document! Any idea how to make it appear?

Thank you in advance.

    Hello,

     HP no longer offering support for it

    Can you specify the exact model of your printer?

    It's an HP Deskjet F2180...

      Install the HP Smart application that you will find on the printer's home page.

    In fact, it doesn't really work...

    When the program starts, it asks me to add a printer, but none appear in the ad-hoc area...

    So, since it doesn't detect anything, it won't carry out any tasks!

    I remind you that my printer is a Deskjet F2180 for which HP no longer provides support.

    Yes yes, it works very well despite its old age ;)

    A few hours ago, I scanned 3 documents (not with HP Smart, but another menu that I can't seem to find anymore) and it was perfect.

    I think HP Smart doesn't support "obsolete" printers either.

    Thank you.

      HP Smart is mainly designed for new HP printers .....

      If everything is installed correctly and your printer is working but you're having trouble scanning, I suggest you do it with the Fax and Scanning option included in W10

      In your search bar on the left ► Type Scanning and ....► At the top of the search results ► You will see Fax and Scanning ► Create a shortcut on your desktop ► Launch the application ► New scan ...and it should be fine in principle

      A+ for the result

      Cheers

    Hello,

    It works for scanning, but not for printing (and I need both).

    Thanks anyway for the info!

      If I understand correctly, you want an icon of this printer on your desktop... ► If so, and since it is already installed, go to the Windows 10 control panel ► Devices and Printers ► Right-click on the icon of this printer ► Create shortcut ► and the shortcut will be on your desktop and you should have access to the printer

      See you!
