The normal fix for this is to install and use the HP App --

 

HP Smart is known to have a bug that causes a similar problem, though in the case of the HP Bug, the file cannot be Saved due to the position of the Box.

 

So -

From your description, it appears that the issue has surfaced in the HP App.

 

Try

Remove the printer from the HP App

Sign out of the HP App

Reset the printer

Restart your computer (or tablet, phone)

Open the HP App

Sign in to the HP App using your HP Account credentials

Add your Printer to the HP App

Try your scan job

 

   The Reset steps are outlined in the last video below.

 

         ------- For those reading -------

There is a reported Bug in the HP Smart application (Windows).

           The problem has been reported to HP.

         ----------------------------------

 

The suggestion solution is as follows --

 

-- Recommended -- One and more of the following --

 

  • Upgrade to the HP App (Introduction and information is provided later in this message).  HP App is the replacement for HP Smart.
  • ⇶  At the least -- Install the HP App as a means to kick the "Smart" bug to the side.  That means, Install the HP App > Restart the computer > Try using HP Smart and see if the mere act of installing its replacement (HP App) "fixes" the bug in HP Smart.  Sounds silly, but some folks report that this is enough if you want to keep using the old HP Smart application.
  • Use HP Scan (part of your full driver printer software)
  • Install / Use the HP Universal Scan Software (available as a separate download / install) on the drivers webpage
  • Use Windows Scan until you decide / find a solution that suits your needs

 

-- Start --

 

The HP App can also be found by opening the store: Microsoft Store 

 

Look for the HP App under the single name "HP

Make sure your choice is sourced from HP, Inc.

 

Consider upgrading to the HP App and abandoning HP Smart --

The HP App is the replacement for HP Smart.

 

OR

 

Use HP Scan -- part of your full driver printer software

 

Software and Drivers for HP Smart Tank 530 Wireless All-in-One series

 

OR

 

-- Printer Model and Operating System Dependent --

 

Download / Save / Install / Use HP Universal Scan Software

 

HP Universal Scan Software

 

<< Printer Model and Operating System version Dependent >>

 

When the software is installed, HP Universal Scan Software adds a self-named HP Scan software shortcut to the Desktop.

 

Note:

Where supported, HPUSS can be installed as standalone or installed after the full feature / full solution printer software.

 

 HP Universal Scan Software – Product Page

 

Open website  HP Universal Scan Full Feature Software 

Select an Operating System and Version

Select Open-all to expand the driver list

 

Find / Download / Save / Install HP Universal Scan – Full Feature Software and Driver Webpack 

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

 

 

OR

 

Use Windows Scan -- this application is not as smart as some alternatives; Windows Scan is solid and reliable within its scope.     

 

-- What about HP App? --

 

At some point, perhaps even now, HP Smart will no longer be available in the  Microsoft Store  .

 

There are at least two possible consequences to this:

  • Were there a version fix for the reported HP Smart "Scan - Save - Off-Center" bug, it can be more difficult to actually obtain a fixed version of the HP Smart app.
  • Any constant request to update HP Smart is perhaps because the app cannot be updated through the conventional means.   There are caveats to that comment, none of which matter in context.
