Here are some of the frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How do I get the HP app?

The print app for your printer is either the HP app or the HP Smart app. If available, use the HP app as it is newer than HP Smart and is the main print app supported by HP at this time.

However, the HP app is not being released everywhere at the same time and might not be available. If this is the case, use HP Smart until the HP app becomes available.

  1. Open an internet browser on the device you want to connect your printer to and go to 123.hp.com.

  2. On the page that opens, search for your HP printer. The print app for your printer is displayed on the page.

  3. Do one of the following, depending on what is available on the web page.

    • If the HP app is available, install it.

    • If the only print app shown on the page is the HP Smart app, continue using the HP Smart app until an upgrade option becomes available.

How do I get started with the HP app?

The HP app is similar to the HP Smart app. Add your printer to make a connection and gain easy access to your printer's features and settings, such as printing, copying, scanning, and more.

For more information on setting up your printer with the HP app, see HP printer setup (HP app).

 

Why is HP replacing HP Smart?

HP is combining the functions of older apps like HP Smart in a single app to provide a simple, one-stop solution for all HP devices.

Your HP Smart app might automatically update to the HP app. If so, take a moment to open it and explore. The experience should be familiar, but with more features and capabilities for more HP devices.

 

Can I go back to HP Smart?

No. When the new HP app is available for your device, HP Smart is obsolete and cannot be re-installed. The HP app replaces the HP Smart app with new features and functionalities.

 

Do I lose printers and settings when I update from HP Smart?

Where did my list of printers and devices go?
