Hi there.

I’m sorry that your printer would complete the setup and installation process. I can certainly understand why that would be an unwelcome surprise, especially considering that you’ve had good experience with so many HP printers in the past. I would love to help you resolve this situation, so if you still have the printer, here are some resources aimed at getting it installed and working like it should.

First, I recommend that you follow a setup tutorial specific to your printer you can find on our support site. On the same page you can also access user manuals, troubleshooting guides, how-to documents and software updates. Do that by following this link:
- support.hp.com/us-en/product/model/29256679

You can also visit a page on our support site that has diagnostic tools for various tasks and issues, including setup and connectivity. You can find the page here:
- support.hp.com/us-en/topic/diagnostics

If you need further assistance with setup or anything else, I suggest that you contact us directly once again, at your convenience, at +1 800-474-6836 so we can help you assess the situation and find a solution. (Please note that because of restrictions on personal movement and workplace attendance associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, wait times for agents are longer than normal. Thanks in advance for your understanding.) To expedite the process, I recommend gathering the following information before the call:

- Model number
- Serial number
- Your location
- Case number (from any previous contact with HP support)

I'll also mention that HP printers have a one-year warranty from their purchase date that covers hardware as well as ink supplies, so if it comes to that, you might consider making use of it. You can verify the warranty using the following link:
- support.hp.com/us-en/checkwarranty
