HP Print and Scan Doctor

A program developed by the official programmer division of HP. It helps ordinary users to solve problems with and x printer through step-by-step instructions. HP Print and Scan Doctor is a software package aimed at timely detection of equipment malfunction and step-by-step description of the solution to this problem.

Functionality

The program is based on rather outdated algorithms and its functionality does not include automatic detection of connected printers, i.e. you need to select the device connected to your personal computer before you start troubleshooting. But if your PC is not on your home network and you have multiple HP devices connected to it at the same time, the error checking will be done on a first-come, first-served basis. You will only be given the choice to determine the order of the devices to be checked. Only after getting the list of faults and their troubleshooting, the software will move on to check the next printer or scanner. The good thing is that the diagnostics runs without the user's participation. That is, you can go about your business, and only after a certain time to review the list of found faults and correct. HP Print and Scan Doctor is designed to eliminate most software errors, but if the problem is physical, the device will have to be repaired. Once the software faults are identified, you will need to confirm the fixes. Also included in the functionality of the application is the resolution of problems with the use of network connectivity.

Usage

Only Windows operating system owners will be able to use this utility, if you use another OS, you will have to solve the problem in another way. Also, the developers did not make an exact list of supported devices, as the algorithms used can help almost any device, so compatibility will have to be checked independently. Another advantage of HP Print and Scan Doctor is good Russification, which makes it easier to use the utility.
