    My mother bought this HP shit behind my back and asked me to install it. Even though I work in IT in a publicly listed corporation, I fucking couldn’t do it without creating any accounts. I asked her to return that shit.

    HP smart printers are vile and predatory.

      Some time ago I borrowed a HP scanner from a friend. It was a big old thing, probably from the early 2000’s. The driver package was about a gigabyte of all kinds of bloatware, absolutely incredible. I extracted the two driver files I needed, worked without a problem.

      Can’t imagine the crap this stuff has to come with now.
