Hi, I have disposed of an Envy Deskjet 5540 that was attached to my HP Smart account. I did not remove it from the account before disposing of it. It still shows up in my account and there is no option to remove it now, just a link to "printer option" which seems to make me want to reconnect to the printer. I can't. How do I remove it from my account.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
Normally, you can "Hide" (remove) an unwanted printer from the HP Smart App in Settings.
True - although this might initially work, the device might prove to be "sticky".
Try here:
HP Account - Login / Dashboard
HP_Account_Dashboard_5
If that doesn't remove the device from the App,
Try / Consider
Uninstall the HP Smart app from your device
Restart the devicce
"Get" a new copy of the app from the appropriate Store for your device
Open HP Smart > Add the printer(s) that you do want
HP Printer Home Page - References and Resources – Learn about your Printer - Solve Problems
