Which is a terrible app. I made the mistake of buying a HP printer and that app crashes more than it works (and the printer doesn't work without it, of course).

Wait, you have to have an app to print? On Windows? Can't you just install the driver and print using the Windows print interface? I understand that they have software that might have extra features, but basic printing should only require a driver, at most.

Epson is doing the same. I’m not sure if you can get scanner full features to work without their app.

So there's no way for Linux cups drivers to run these printers. Another reason to pass on them!
