I'm not a fan of home surveillance so Alexa is not an issue for me. I can figure stuff, but HP said it no longer supports my refurb 4630 OfficeJet. Okay, HP, not gonna argue with you. If I can't scan and send, it's not gonna happen.I didn’t have a printer for ages since college. Then when the pandemic hit and I had to fill out all these forms for the job I was leaving and the one I was starting and some of them needed to be soft copy and some hard copy and nearly all of them needed a signature, it just made sense to get a scanner-copier-printer all-in-one. It’s a little temperamental. But mostly it’s the PC rather than the printer that needs to be rebooted. But that’s usually when the PC fails to recognize the scanner function. The printer has been pretty solid after I got rid of that dumb HP subscription. Who the heck wants to pay HP for ink and pages on a monthly basis? Yes. I use ink and paper. But let me decide my budget and payment schedule for this. Dumb! Stay out of my printer, HP! Once that was sorted and cancelled, this has been a pretty good purchase. I can even print from my phone. That’s a nice touch.
Kids are pretty good at figuring this stuff out. You could probably pay a neighbor’s kid or grandkid $20 to sort out the printer for you. But if Alexa is going offline, then it’s probably a bigger problem than just the printer.
