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.
