Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

Just this morning -- likely for different reasons -- I had to Reset HP Smart (to remove the account data) and then follow the reset with the Uninstall / Install of the HP Smart app from the Microsoft Store.

 

After reinstalling, a quick Restart of the computer to be sure "all is set in place".

 

Will that help in your case?

Maybe -- Reset / Uninstall - Install is a standard "do this and that" solution.

 

Open HP Smart --

In my case, the app signed in automatically, though you can / should sign in manually if needful.

Next, use "Add Printer" to add your printer(s) back into the app.

 

No Joy?

Windows - Reset HP Smart Application

 

Next,

Reset the HP Smart application - This action removes the app data.

 

How to Reset the App

 

Windows 10 -

Settings > Apps > Apps and Features

 

OR

 

Windows 11 - 

Settings > Apps > Installed Apps

 

Next,

Search / Find HP Smart in the apps list

Open Advanced options > Reset the app

 

Restart the computer and log in

Open HP Smart > Sign in > Add Printer(s)

 

What if?

If the app Reset does not work by itself,

Next,

Uninstall the HP Smart App from Settings > Apps > Installed Apps or Apps and Features

Restart the computer and log in

“Get” a new copy of the HP Smart application from the Microsoft Store

Open HP Smart > Sign in > Add Printer(s)
