Downloadable software versus Smart App

[Verna13]

I've installed HP Smart Tank 7302 using the Smart App.   Can I now install the complete downloadable printer software package for this printer so that I can use the printer WITHOUT using Smart App?  Will this cause any problems?

@Verna13, Welcome to the HP Support Community – it’s great to have you here!
 

I appreciate you taking the time to share your question. I'm more than happy to assist with this and provide a solution that works for you.

Yes, you can install the full downloadable software package for your HP Smart Tank 7302 even after setting it up using the HP Smart App. This will allow you to use the printer independently of the Smart App, especially for more traditional print/scan workflows via your computer.

Here’s how to proceed:

Steps to Install Full Software Package (Without Needing HP Smart App)

Go to the official HP driver download page for your printer: HP Smart Tank 7302 Software & Drivers

Select your operating system (if not auto-detected).

Under “Installation Software and Driver”, download:

• HP Easy Start Printer Setup Software – This includes the full feature driver and utilities.

Run the downloaded installer and follow the on-screen instructions.

• During setup, choose “Full Software and Drivers” instead of the Smart App if prompted.
• You can opt for USB or Wi-Fi connection depending on your setup.

Once installed, you can use:

• HP Scan utility for scanning.
• Windows/Mac system print dialog for printing.
• HP Printer Assistant (on Windows) for managing settings and maintenance.
   

Will This Cause Any Problems?

• No conflicts will occur. The full software package and HP Smart App can coexist.
• You can continue using both or uninstall HP Smart if you prefer a more traditional interface.
• Just ensure you’re not connected to a VPN during installation, as it may block driver downloads.

I hope your issue is now resolved. If not, feel free to reply and we’ll continue helping until everything’s sorted!
