Update: Issue is still persisting. Not sure why any company would ever require hardware to interface with software that goes without an update to fix the problems for weeks on end. At a bare minimum HP needs to seriously review any step in the software process that requires that a program to interact with network software in order to perform a basic local task. I am sure that your software wizards determined that this was the best way for you to maintain software control but you forgot about the customer in the process. Suggest that the HP App be renamed as the "HP Productivity Reduction App" or as an alternative the "HP Poorly Maintained but Essential for Application to Work App".

I have spend a lot of hours and it came to my attention that HP app does not work to the point of connecting to the HP server. It just loops all day long. I don't know if there will ever be a fix for this issue but it been going on awhile now.

I received a brand new printer yesterday that I could not setup due to this issue with the Smart app. I spent THREE HOURS trying to get help from HP Support, the majority of which I was on hold and trying to get help via chat that repeatedly disconnected. When I finally was able to speak to someone he instructed me to complete setup via my MacBook. That was over an hour long nightmare that I will not even get into!
Still having a printer in which the setup had not been completed or my free year of Instant Ink activated I decided to Google the error code. Instantly I find this thread only to realize this is not only a known issue, but one HP Support purposefully refused to acknowledge and instead wasted HOURS of my time.
When can we expect this to be fixed, considering it has been almost two weeks already?!

@DIYdee, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
I understand. There is no TAT available as of now. However, the Engineers at HP are working to fix this issue at the earliest. You may install and use the printer by downloading the full-feature driver from HP Support site.
Keep me posted for any other assistance.

I am unable to login to HP app. I am hitting a "something went wrong screen" that displays the following error code -
Error Code: 0W_500_0WSID00001
I have tried all the basic troubleshooting - device restart, re-installation, installing on other devices, etc.
Is anyone aware of what that error code means? Or, how can I resolve this issue?
Please help this issue been going on for so long already.
