HP Smart Tank 720 All-in-One
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

HP Smart Tank 720 connected via Wifi (not Wifi direct) to a Windows 10 64-bit laptop, printing works, status in the HP Smart app randomly goes from unknown to connected, scanner never works (Scanning is Currently Unavailable), downloaded HP Printing and Scanning Doctor 5.6.6 which amazingly requires HP Solution Center, a piece of software that is replaced by ... HP Printing and Scanning Doctor! The scanner works just fine with a Windows 7 laptop that does not use the HP Smart App, but a different HP software. HP Smart App is set to auto-update, current version 136.1.269.0.
