I paid for 1 year for a HP Printing service an you stopped me from printing anything at all. I want my $39.99 back or I will report you to the Fraud Dept I paid on 13 May 2026.

So, it's not enough to purchase a printer, paper & ink; my Dad has to PAY A SUBSCRIPTION JUST TO PRINT ON "HIS PRINTER"? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE! Y'ALL HAVE NO SHAME!! UNBELIEVABLE🤨💬 AUDACITY IS THE NEW C19! I WILL "SPREAD" THE WORD! I am pretty sure ppl are NOT aware of this when they purchase new printer bc I sure wasn't. It's not on the box, instructions or the printer info sheet it pushes out upon set up. You get to print like normal & THEN 6.99/MO OR 19.99/YR?MY DAD'S PRINTER WHO IS ELDERLY😠
★★★★ Cheryl Brown 6/23/2026 v2.2.40
you're trying to charge me to print off my phone I don't want that I just want to be able to print a document off my phone or one of my pictures that's all I want this printer for I don't want to pay for anything it's supposed to be free I never had to pay for it before to print off of my phone
★★★★ Amanda DeRush 6/21/2026 v2.2.40
I was charged on my account for this service I do not need or use. I never signed up for this. wth. not a good time to have money removed from my account.
★★★★ Sharon Schilling 6/18/2026 v2.2.40
all it wants to do is make me subscribe.
★★★★ Yogesh Phuke 6/17/2026 v2.2.40
Is the app asking for money after installing it?
★★★★ Bruce Cottrell 6/16/2026 v2.2.40

★★★★ Jesus Meza 6/15/2026 v2.2.40

★★★★ Jean Dimanche 6/15/2026 v2.2.40
Useless, but just want money as a scam.
★★★★ Chonda Watkins 6/14/2026 v2.2.40
I have the printer when would I need to purchase the app
★★★★ Gonzalo Andrade 6/14/2026 v2.2.40
doesn't work, wants to charge monthly just for printing.
★★★★ Hannah Salzman 6/12/2026
The phrase 'in app purchases' makes you think that you don't have to pay to use it, but you do from what I can tell by looking through the app. I'm not a fan of dishonesty and misleading advertising.
★★★★ Tonya 6/11/2026 v2.2.40
have to pay to print and my printer wouldn't connect to it
★★★★ Lynn 6/9/2026
Please inform this isn't free before downloading! app on
★★★★ Matthew Marlowe 6/6/2026 v2.2.40
garbage and heavily pushes you buy subscription before it fails you without refund
★★★★ Skylight D 5/31/2026
Stopped working with Epson printer firmware update
★★★★ Deby 5/30/2026
Don't bother downloading- its an expensive subscription & you have to sign up to even test drive. NO THANK YOU!
★★★★ Tracy Parker 5/30/2026 v2.2.40
the only way to print from their printer is pay more. bulls

AIDS for your phone. Pop ups and spam.
★★★★ Marilyn Hutchings 5/29/2026 v1.2.24
I don't think it is right to have to pay to print ones own pics at home. Cannon apps are very 😞printer is a piece of junk if a person can't do home printing unless they pay to do it. really stupid😡
★★★★ nikalish1031 5/27/2026 v2.2.40
Just another app you have to pay for to use? 😂😂
★★★★ Lorelei Glatt 5/26/2026
after wasting all the time I did when I am very limited and now more time to hopefully save others the half that you later find out it's a PAID app.
★★★★ Gordon Bissonnette 5/24/2026 v2.2.40
It sucks
★★★★ Amber Conley 5/24/2026 v2.2.40
Immediately asked during setup if I like the app, how will I know before I can even use it? Then one week free trial, $10/ week for access after? No thank you.
★★★★ S K 5/23/2026 v2.2.40
**FAKE** Chinese HP app- with paywall** Use the actual HP app called "hp" this is free & official, it replaced HP Print Service Plugin, HP Smart and HP ePrint. They combined all cloud printing/scanning in this new app. Older phones/printers may still need to use the Plugin and if you don't want an HP login, the plug in bypasses that requirement if new app.
★★★★ Jorge Luis Leon gala 5/23/2026 v2.2.40
