I have Envy 4520 and can scan to my HP app on Chromebook. However, when I click 'save' it goes into idle mode (with the spinning circle) and does not complete the task, even after giving it 10 or 15 minutes. Can someone help, in very simple terms please, I'm no Bill Gates!)? Many thanks...

Welcome to HP Community
I have gone through your Post and would like to help
Do you experience the same issue if you print from different computers?
Have you tried reinstalling the HP Smart App?
Please perform a printer reset and update the printer firmware
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and from the wall outlet or power strip.
- Wait at least 60 seconds.
- Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
NOTE: HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to a wall outlet.
- Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
- Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
- The printer might go through a warm-up period. The printer lights might flash, and the carriage might move.
- Wait until the warm-up period finishes and your printer is idle and silent before you proceed.
- Reinsert the ink cartridges, and then close the ink cartridge access door.
