I have same problem. HP can't fix your app within few years!
It worked for me earlier but it is not working now. I don't know why?
In device manager i see that my printer is in REST form sometimes.
I can print but not using your APP. I can't scan because your APP is not working.
HP Print Doctor see my printer normally.
But clicking on HP Smart either i have blank screen or it gives me information to connect the printer. It doesn't see it. Even though it is in the device manager.
Why this is not working so many years for so many people? Maybe windows update (windows 10) broke something, or the AMD chipset driver updates I did (B450)?

Welcome to the HP English Community --
Your printer series was introduced in 2015.
HP Smart does not do well without a connection to a network.
The application can use Wi-Fi Direct, a regular Wireless connection using a router. It could possibly use a Hotspot connection -- I've never tried that and the connection would have to be strong and stable to even attempt it.
Your printer has none of these -- it is "USB cable" only.
Connectivity, Std | 1 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 |
HP Smart will never like this situation.
Instead, you may use the full driver printer software -- the full driver includes HP Scan.
-------------------------------------------------
Ask if you need help to (re)install the full driver.
Remember to disconnect the USB cable between the printer and the computer before you install the software.
Connect the cable only when instructed to do so, near the end of the installation process.

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and sign in.

========================================
I believe Windows Scan will work in a direct USB cable connection setup, too.

Windows Fax and Scan should work, I think.
