stuck in H.P. Connected, can not finish divice setup!!

[chenders1024]

I'm having the issue and it's driving me nuts. I am installing the printer software on a new laptop, and I go through the entire setup process, the dialogue box tells me that my printer is connected and the setup process is finished... BUT IT'S NOT!! When I try to close the HP Smart app dialogue box, it give the same error the original poster mentioned: 

"Exit Device Service Setup

Are you sure you want to close this Window?

If you exit, you can complete your setup later by saving this link: (in blue and underlined: Copy link to clipboard)

Click continue to continue set up or close."

Why is it doing this? There are NO options in the HP Smart app to continue or finish setup. There are options to manage my instant ink account, set the printer's network address, etc, but that has all been done and there is absolutely NOTHING left to do! I just want to use my printer/scanner!

The troubleshooting steps outlined have not worked. I've uninstalled drivers at the root level, and reinstalled only to encounter the same problem again.

I am installing a HP Envy 4520 on a Dell Windows 10 laptop.

Please help, contacting customer support has not worked.

I do not know why the installation is not providing the "Continue" option - or whether it would work when the installation is apparently "stuck".

You checked Operating System "unknown" and then tagged Windows 10.

Assuming you are indeed installing printer software on a system running a recent version of Windows 10 ,consider:

In general, the printer software should install on a Dell computer running Windows 10.

For those reading:

HP Smart is available for supported printers for Windows 10 and Mobile applications.
