@Hoyoung, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

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

The blinking "i" button on your HP LaserJet M234sdwe typically indicates an error or a required action. Since the printer lost power during scanning and now HP Smart on your iPhone cannot find it, try the following steps:

Check Printer Connectivity

• Wi-Fi Connection: Ensure the printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone.
  • On the printer, press the Wi-Fi button to check its connection status.
  • If it's not connected, reconnect using Wi-Fi Setup Mode:
    1. Reset Network Settings: Hold the Wi-Fi button and Cancel (X) button together until the power light blinks.
    2. Wait 1-2 minutes, then reconnect using the HP Smart app.

Restart Everything

• Power cycle the printer:
  1. Turn off the printer.
  2. Unplug it for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Plug it back in and turn it on.
• Restart your iPhone to refresh network connections.

Reinstall HP Smart and Add Printer Again

Since you removed HP Smart but it still cannot find the printer:

1. Forget Wi-Fi on Printer:
   • Press and hold the Wireless button until the Wi-Fi light blinks.
2. Reinstall HP Smart:
   • Delete the app, restart your iPhone, and reinstall HP Smart from the App Store.
3. Re-add the Printer:
   • Open HP Smart and tap Add Printer.
   • If the printer is not detected, tap Set Up a New Printer and follow the instructions.

Use HP Smart on Another Device

• If possible, try setting up the printer using HP Smart on a PC or Mac to verify if the issue is specific to your iPhone.

Reset the Printer (if needed)

If the "i" button keeps blinking:

• Perform a Factory Reset:
  • Press and hold the Cancel (X) button and Wi-Fi button together for 10 seconds until the printer restarts.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
