I spoke to HP Representative "Lawrence" about my 6968 Printer Error message. He told me to buy a new printer and asked, "Don't you know how technology works?" Is it true that HP OfficeJet Pro 6968 All-in-One Printer is obsolete? Seems like a waste.

Asked by: Waste Not Want Not
Thank you for your question! And our apologies for your issues with that representative. The HP OfficeJet Pro 6968 is compatible with Windows 11 and is not an obsolete printer. For further assistance with the printer error please contact HP Support at 1-800-474-6836.
