Hi Charles,

I discovered that my solution does

not work. It creates an icon but it doesn't

open anything. If it's an all in one printer,

what does the scanner icon on your desktop open?

Why do you feel you need a printer icon

on the desktop?

I've always just used HP Smart for things.

    Hello,

    I understand. I will leave well enough alone.

    The HP Scan just opens the Scanner window.

    Hello,

    I am unable to right mouse click on the printer, as I do not have that option.
