The printer supports Scan and Print options for a supported version of iOS.
The printer and the device (iPhone) must be on the same network.
In general, if you have trouble installing and using HP Smart (app), try connecting and printing in AirPrint.
What?
AirPrint is built into your iOS -- while Airprint does not support scan, the app is a good indicator whether the printer is able to connect to your device (iPhone) and perform basic print functions.
While Scan is not print, some of the protocols that support AirPrint are also general requirements for the HP Smart application.
