HP. Yes Hewlett Packard who has decided you cannot using what you just bought without an online account _and_ an internet connection.
Imagine - you need to scan a document. The laptop is 10' away from the printer. I have to login to an account to be able to scan. wtf? And their s/w is absolutely terrible. They call it HP Smart but it's really HP dumb, clearly designed by a bunch of monkeys beating on keyboards with bananas.
Apologies to monkeys everywhere. I should not drag them down to HP's level.

I agree 100%. A few months ago herself needed a printer for home office.
i bought "simple" HP printer. Hooked it up & it wanted to install entire print system which would order new ink. I disconnected it, boxed it up and took it back. It also used 1 black & 1 (mixed color cart).
I bought another one of the epson wf-2850[^] It uses 4 individual cartridges for ink & doesn't require any special software to be installed.

 herself does not like Epson (for some reason, no idea). I miss my basic Samsung. I was broken hearted to learn HP had bought them.
Never again. I so rarely print, it might make a case just to send print jobs to the UPS store (2 miles down the street).

I used to have several old and semi reliable printers, all of which decided to fail at the same time. I discovered that I could buy an ex-lease Fuji for a reasonable price. Prints all sizes, double sided, scans, emails, colour, you name it. Great decision.

I went with a Brother laser printer . . . It was Cheap(ish), had well priced toner and for Bonus points it supports Linux as well.
And most importantly it did not try to embed you into a vendor ecosystem.

I have HP laptop and HP desktop. Very good and solid.
I have HP ink tank printer. works great.
However, like much of the network and computer industry, HP insists you to be part of their cloud of operations.
Makes business sense but not necessarily sensible for customers.
I resist as much as I can.

I'm okay if they want to change their business model, etc.
What I am not okay with is when the printer won't print. And it does not tell you why.
And the software doesn't tell you why.
Or they make a trivial process harder than it needs to be.
It's like Windows 11 and Microsoft's rape of the menus and what not. They *say* it was for a better user experience, but I challenge anyone from MS to justify it. Now I read that one of the later updates reduces file transfer performance by 40%. Huh? HOW DO YOU BREAK THAT?

Return the printer if possible and get your money back.
Your experience says bad printer, bad software. Or they want your computer to turn into an HP.
Run away.

They accomplished that with the release of Windows 7, IIRC, and never fixed it in any subsequent version.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

We use Cannon at home. This thing prints/scans with one klick from everywhere - iOS, Windows, Android. I think if I just give it a kick, it will start printing...something. In fact, I'm convinced this printer is like the semi's brakes - the default state is printing, it needs power and software to hold it from printing.

I have a Canon multi-function unit at home and I like it a lot. One nice thing I found is third party ink is available for it at very inexpensive prices. I think I paid $20 for five sets of cartridges which is considerably better than 40 or 50 for one set from Canon.
