Printer "offline" in app, but it isn't offline

[mel613]

Printer is showing that it is online.  It connects to my PC and prints from it.  I have run all of the diagnostic stuff.  

When I try to use the HP app to scan using the printer, it says the printer is offline.  I don't know what else to do.

Hi @mel613

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the scanning issue. 

To better assist you - May I have the exact model name of the product? Refer to this document for steps to find the product details. Do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc.

While you respond to that, please try rebooting the devices - 

1) Turn off the Router, Printer, and the computer/ mobile devices.

2) Wait for 60 seconds.

3) Turn on the Router first and wait for all the lights to stabilize.

4) Turn on the printer and allow it to configure itself.

5) Turn on the computer/ mobile devices.

Try updating the app - 

1. Open the Google Play Store app .
2. Tap Menu   Settings.
3. Tap Auto-update apps.
4. Select an option:
   • Over any network to update apps using either Wi-Fi or mobile data.
   • Over Wi-Fi only to update apps only when connected to Wi-Fi.

Also, try updating the Android using these steps - Update your Android version

If the issue still persists, try re-installing the HP Smart app. 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Shutting everything down and rebooting solved it.  Thank you!
