HP Smart will not open/work with the latest update with macOS11. I tried to re-install the ap, but it is clearly not updated/working with Apple's update. HP smart opens, wheel spins, and then crashes/closes. Can HP Smart please be updated soon...thanks

@lillo17, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
I understand the HP Smart app is not working. Did you download the HP smart app from the App Store?
Update the app from the App Store to version 12.7.1, try printing.
Check for any software updates on Mac
Click the Apple icon > About This Mac > Software Update and install any available update.
If the HP Smart app server is down, it may not work, kindly try after a couple of hours.
You may use the AirPrint driver to print - recommended. Refer to - Printing with Apple AirPrint (Mac)
Alternatively, use the Apple Image Capture app to scan from your Mac
Refer to this document for more info.
You may also try using the HP Easy Scan app from the App Store to scan.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

I checked, the FW of printer 4520 is already updated but the HP Smart App crashes after few seconds from opening (MacOS Catalina), this happens with the latest app release; I tried to re-install the application, same issue.
As you suggested, I can use Easy Scan App with no problem.
Thanks!

Even with the new update to Big Sur 11.5.1 and a delete/redownload of the HP smart ap it just crashes. Too bad, I really liked the ap. Printer still prints, and I can scan using easy scan, but wish it could play nice with apple.
