It is a known problem with all of HP's all-in-one printers as far as  
I know. They are apparently not very interested in supporting their  
stuff. Same thing happened with the shift from 10.1 to 10.2 to 10.3.
Lesson that I have learned from this is don't buy HP AIO. (Their  
laser and inkjet printers don't have this problem).
