Hi @Smith8005 ,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

I understand you are trying to create a desktop shortcut for HP Smart Print, follow these steps:

Method 1: Using the HP Smart app HP printer setup (HP Smart app)

Open HP Smart:

  • If you haven't already installed the HP Smart app, you can download it from the Microsoft Store. Open the Microsoft Store, search for HP Smart, and install it.
  • After installation, open HP Smart from your Start Menu.

Create the Shortcut:

  • Once the HP Smart app is open, right-click on its icon in the taskbar (the icon at the bottom of the screen).
  • Select Pin to Start or Open file location. If you click on Open file location, you'll see the HP Smart shortcut in the file explorer.
  • Then right-click the shortcut in the file explorer and select Send to > Desktop (create shortcut).

Method 2: Direct Desktop Shortcut (if the app is installed)

  1. Search for HP Smart in your Windows search bar.
  2. Right-click on HP Smart from the search results.
  3. Choose Open file location.
  4. In the file explorer, right-click on the HP Smart app shortcut and select Send to > Desktop (create shortcut).

After completing these steps, you should have a desktop shortcut for the HP Smart app that you can use to quickly access HP Smart Print features.

 

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
