You don't have to create an HP account to use the smart app.I'm hoping to avoid having any new printer for quite some time.
I bought my excellent HP LaserJet M477fdw printer five years ago when it was on offer for only £250 and discounts like that just don't seem to exist any more.
But I have finally bought a decent Windows 11 test laptop [Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 16inch] that I am gradually setting up as a very low priority so, when I eventually reach the printer setup, I could try the Smart app.
If all it needs is an HP Account for just the setup procedure then that's just an annoyance rather than an encumbrance.
I'll let you know how I get on but please don't hold your breath. My target completion date is the 13th of October 2025.
All the best,
Denis
