HP Smart Stopped Working in Latest 14.x.x release

[hvrose2022]

HP Smart comes up & identifies my printer.

I press "SCAN"

HP Smart redirects me to a browser to sign in first before I scan.

I lose pointer focus, no browser window comes up.

I quit Chrome, I quit HP Smart.

I bring Chrome back & login to my HP account.

I start HP Smart again.  Same problems.  It requires a login to the cloud that it never finds and hoses my pointer focus in the process.

I just want to scan.  Stop forcing the cloud on me.
