Envy Drama Feb 3, 2016
My printer QUIT... died when I needed to scan, print, sign papers and email them.. I rushed to Staples and said "I want the cheapest all in one printer you have as long as it is not a Canon"
They had two.
I said to the salesman... "Which one of these has the cheapest ink?" he grabbed his calculator and Said The Envy E printer is what you want.... you can.....Easily connect this e-printer to your internet with 3 quick steps.... HE DID NOT SAY
The EASY ENVY part comes with using you SMART PHONE (I don't have one), 3 clicks and you and can print from anywhere in the world from your phone to you home printer.... Even if I had a smart phone why would I print at home from where ever I was.
Bob came to see why I was saying WORDS! Being The Male he said Let Me Do It...
She says...If you think you can go ahead..... Think DRAMA! Words and More Drama! LOUD Drama!
I end up slowly reading the instructions from the PC screen, while he stands in front of the ENVIOUS printer following them.. DRAMA! then guess what happened....
THE MALE said I need Light! and reaching out picked up the desk lamp.... and..... and.............
Woooo hoooo I grab laptop and sit at desktop and in 60 seconds I can print from all 3.
I LOVE IT! and this was my test print of a photo! Not on photo paper, just a sheet of paper. Wow

Sat it on the OFF Button To The PC...Shutting it down instantly.
Can you say Drama?
PS...the printer works beautifully..
FAST FORWARD from 2016 to 6 DAY AGO WHEN THE ABOVE DIED AND THE NEW DRAMA BEGAN.
I found the same printer only newer and better and did not like the PRICE, soooo I ordered a cheap printer, and it came same day, from Amazon, I COULD NOT GET THE THING INSTALLED.. it was a piece of junk, and I expected it to fall apart in my hand. I returned it to Amazon, they took it back even though it had the ink installed. Instant credit.
The credit was there, I put the one I wanted in the cart. I left it sitting there for 5 days, and, played with my brain/catastrophizer,
if I buy it will I be able to install it, what if I have lost my tech skills, it says must be installed by phone, I don't want to do that. I don't know how to do that.
I moved it out of the cart. Two days later back in the cart.. I was upset because I was afraid of a printer, will they take it back if I can't install it? Will I have to hire someone to come install a printer? What will that cost?
I dig out the manual. I dig out pounds of cardboard stuffing, ask Bob to lift it out and sit on bed, and I could do the rest. I said I may need help, I don't think I can do this. I started to panic, I showed bob the new breathing thing of 4 4 4 4 box breathing, Seals do it to focus their thoughts, the Navy Seals, not the ones that have fur and are cute.
I remember the DRAMA from the first Envy 9 year ago.
I Pace, I plug it in and the little screen says pick your language and up pops the screen above.
it say you can install this with your Smartphone or Computer.
I choose computer, find 123.hp.com and Big Letters come up Mid screen,
THIS PRINTER SHOULD BE INSTALLED WITH YOUR SMART PHONE.
I scream in my head, I want it on the computer, I can't do this. I will have to take it back.
I read the instructions for using computer to install. OV VEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I give in and go get my cell phone and it says on
tiny screen on printer
Scan QR Code and tap screen..
THE PHONE WILL NOT SCAN the code. I read instructions before trying and it say Open camera, aim at Code and it will give you an address to TAP.
It would NOT! I get tears in my eyes.
I look to my left and see the same bar code on the GIANT 36 inches Monitor, which is why I wanted to do it on the computer,
I hold the phone out and it works.
It says download installer, I do and it says choose Wi-Fi and next add password.
I did remember to get the password but did not remember It is a Long one and I need a tapper
because my fingers do not tap well on tiny letters.
I race to other room come back and tap password
And Oh MY Word!
60 seconds and counting and it was done and printed a test page.
It came up and said if you want this on other devices
CLICK SEND LINK
Woooo hoooo I grab laptop and sit at desktop and in 60 seconds I can print from all 3.
I DID IT! I sang as I go down the hall to tell Bob.
The easiest ever installation and NO DRAMA! No LOUD WORDS.. No Drama Words!

I did it and I did it well and my brain worked and brain did not die on me... All that catastrophizing for nothing.
