HP PHOTOSMART 7515 INSTALL
Macs and PCs alike on CNET's lab network were able to see the printer without the need to install any additional software. If network privacy from intrusive leeches is your concern, you can also manually input your network username and password details on the virtual QWERTY keyboard and the printer should immediately connect. HP's latest Auto Wireless Connect reduces the set up time to less than two minutes (if you make your network visible, that is).
HP PHOTOSMART 7515 DRIVER
I tested the Wi-Fi connection process and found it simple to navigate through the initial setup screens with help from the instructions on the driver disc. I'm still not ready to see Ethernet printing extinguished entirely until wireless connectivity becomes more ubiquitous. Unfortunately, HP just started omitting Ethernet ports on its printers in an effort to push its cloud printing features that can only work on a Wi-Fi network, which you should probably be using to reduce clutter anyway. Using AirPrint, you can print out a photo from your iPhoto library by simply choosing the connected printer and hitting Print. In addition to a direct USB connection (like most vendors, HP does not include a USB cable with the printer), you can set up the Photosmart 7510 on your network via Wi-Fi, which also lets Apple users make an easy connection through AirPrint on a compatible iOS device. An intelligent sensor picks up on the best kind of media to use for each job and accesses the appropriate tray accordingly. A single 125-sheet paper tray loads on the bottom of the device and also includes a separate top-loading 20-sheet photo paper tray for 4圆-inch and 5x7-inch media. The top of the printer houses the auto-document feeder (ADF) that you'll use to scan a stack of documents, though it's limited to 25 sheets at a time, so I recommend checking out a laser printing multifunction if you plan to use this device for heavy-duty workloads. The quirks of the display add time to the learning curve, but you'll have an easier time once you train your finger to unlearn the familiar iPhone gestures you might be used to. Unless you start a finger swipe on the outside of the display, the menu has a tendency to continue moving even after your finger lifts off the screen - frustrating if you're trying to quickly parse through a lot of apps. I also tried the host name: dhcppc3 and that didn't work (didn't actually expect it to since the IP didn't work but wanted to be thorough).Though the sensitivity of the display is indeed a large improvement on some of HP's earlier touch screen models, it's still prone to precision missteps when it comes to scrolling through the landscape menu pane. The printer says it's wirelessly connected correctly with good signal strength and a DHCP IP address that is also in the proper range. I then opened a command window in the OS and pinged the IP address - that failed with 'request timed out' and 'destination host unreachable'. The printer only showed the MAC address, not a name or IP address like the other three so I restarted the routed with the same results. The display showed four wireless devices, one being the printer. I then logged into my router and refreshed all the known connected systems. On the printer, the wireless blue light is solid on and the signal strength displayed on the printer is also showing strong. My computer is connected to the same SSID.

I print out the Wireless Network Test Results with the bottom line of "no problems found" for the correct SSID. I have reconfigured the printer twice and during each setup, the printer sees all of the wireless networks (to include mine), I select my network, the printer asks for the passphrase to my network and then it successfully connects to my SSID.
HP PHOTOSMART 7515 UPDATE
I download the 2016 update (PS7510_1315-1.exe) displayed for my printer and it installed but when it came time to connect to the printer, it failed - can't see the printer. I'm writing this from that computer so I'm connected to the Internet and I'm connected wirelessly.

I did not reinstall the printer prior to last night. I immediately upgraded to Windows 10 I'm currently running Windows Anniversary Update (AU).
HP PHOTOSMART 7515 PATCH
First, the printer worked fine prior to June when a patch crashed Win7 and I had to reinstall the OS.
