Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

If you have not done so,

Try / Consider

The source of the problem might be a communication error or "block".

 

Suggested...

  • Start with a thorough Restart of the devices on your network.
  • Continue with a Reset of the HP Smart Application.
  • Finally, if the Reset of the app is not enough, uninstall the app > Restart the computer > "Get" a new copy of the app.

If the HP Smart opens but does not work or hangs partly open > Close the HP Smart App.

If you cannot stop HP Smart, Restart the computer and log in > Do not restart HP Smart yet.
