HP ENVY 5020
Android 9.0 Pie

I recently purchased the HP Envy 5020 printer and the basis that it scans. But the HP smart app  (on android 9 samsung A8) says it's not compatible with the printer and i need to choose another printer. I have the latest app version and the latest printer firmware.

How can this be fixed?
