My printer came with that program… Do I need it? I mean… Will my printer work without it? I feel it takes up too much space…

About 4 weeks ago i bought a 3 in 1 printer. It uses the program HP Photosmart Essential to be able to scan something. But this past week i’ve been trying to open the photosmart and window pops up saying there has been a runtime error and that it has terminated. Without this program my scanner is pretty much worthless. I even downloaded the HP Photosmart Essential from the net but instead my printer opens up the old photosmart essential and not the new one.
Some help please. Thank you

I want to print pictures on 4×6″ paper. I have a hp psc 1210 all-in-one printer. When I click simple print on the HP program my computer says that the program is not responding. Is there a way to fix this or is there another free and virus free program that i can download to print my pictures?

My printer CD installed HP Photosmart and HP Director so I’ve been using those to scan photos and stuff. But after a system recovery one time and I opened HP Image Zone it told me it couldnt open the .htm file even though it was there. So I stopped using it because I found another way to scan and print photos in my computer w/ another HP product (that came with my computer instead of my printer).
I read that PH Photosmart Essentials is the new version of Image Zone so I downloaded that. So my question is that now that I have photosmart essentials do I still need to keep the nonworking image zone program installed? Can I just uninstall every aspect of it including the HP director since i will no longer be using them anymore? Or If I do uninstall it is something ganna stop working?
