Hi @315nekpopj,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

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

 

I understand HP Smart is displaying a blank screen when attempting to scan with your HP ENVY Inspire 7255e printer, try these steps to resolve the issue:
 

1. Restart HP Smart and Your Computer

  • Close HP Smart completely (ensure it’s not running in the background).
  • Restart your computer and reopen HP Smart to see if the issue is resolved.

2. Check for HP Smart Updates

  • Open the Microsoft Store and check if there’s an update for HP Smart.
  • If there is, install the latest version of HP Smart.

3. Run the Windows Troubleshooter

  • Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot.
  • Select Additional troubleshooters and run the Printer troubleshooter.

4. Reinstall HP Smart

  • Uninstall HP Smart from your computer.
  • Download and reinstall HP Smart from the Microsoft Store.

5. Update Printer Drivers

  • Go to the HP Support website and download the latest drivers for your HP ENVY Inspire 7255e printer.
  • Install the updated drivers and restart your computer.

6. Check Windows Firewall or Antivirus

  • If it works, add HP Smart as an exception to your antivirus or firewall settings.

7. Clear HP Smart Cache

  • Press Windows + R, type %appdata% in the Run dialog, and press Enter.
  • Navigate to the HP Inc. folder and delete the HP Smart cache.
  • Restart HP Smart.

8. Use HP Print and Scan Doctor HP Print and Scan Doctor
