I installed a a photosmart printer yesterday and it works great, but after installation they ask you to register, which I tried. The registration mechanism however said "You don't have an internet connection, please register another way". WTF ???
Even java thinks I have an internet connection!
What the hell does hp use to figure out how to get an internet connection ? A virtual pigeon ??
Today I thought let's do some scanning again.
I just got the message, please reinstall the software or reboot your computer, because of an internal error.
I had the bright idea to actually try the HP software update system.
It can find lot's of updates, but when it comes to downloading it probably uses the same virtual pigeon to connect to the internet.
Please HP keep things simple, so things actually work, especially something as trivial as connecting to the internet!! (at least SAY what probably went wrong!)
I have tons of weird programs running here, that don't seem to have that problem..
Love (to a certain extend, since I also love my Xerox Laserprinter very much) your hardware, but your software is not thought through too well...
