HP has announced plans to retire the HP Scan and Capture app for Windows from the Microsoft Store and discontinue any further app updates as of May 1, 2024.

I have a HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless multi-function printer which is over ten years old, and it still works well. It gets a fair amount of use, but I don’t need to replace the ink cartridges more than two or three times a year and typically I don’t go through an entire 500-sheet ream of paper within that period.

Whenever I scan documents and photos on my HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless multi-function printer, I would prefer using the scan utility in the HP Solution Center.

For many years, I used Epson inkjet printers because of their print quality; however, I would constantly run into the issue of clogged printhead nozzles and degraded print quality.
