Need help with getting the HP Smart software.

Uninstalled HP Smart, restarted computer.

Went to https://123.hp.com/us/en/devices/envy6455 to download HP Smart.

Clicked on ‘Install HP Smart’ button.

Got this, ‘This site is trying open Microsoft Store’. Clicked on Open.

Microsoft store opens.

HP Smart is showing.

On the right is a brown box with circle going round & round &.

Under that is an error.

This has been going on for 10 minutes.

Went to https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/hp-smart/9WZDNCRFHWLH

Click on ‘Get in Store app’.

Box opens with heading Microsoft Store.

Under it the HP Smart is showing. Then there is a brown box with wheel going around with ‘Update’ under it.

 

Now what do I do??

Have computer that cannot print to the ENVY Pro 6455.

Where is the software to download and install??

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

At this writing, HP Smart is only available from the Microsoft Store

 

First, if you have not done so,

Restart everything, including the router that controls you network.

Next,

I've included a couple of references at the end of this message that might help.

What else?

 

If you cannot get and install the HP Smart application,

Try / Consider

Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software.

 

The full driver includes HP Scan.

 

Installing the full driver also provides a foundation so you can install and use other scan applications and programs that are compatible with your Windows and your printer.  CaveatIt is true that one or more of these options requires that you are able to use the Microsoft Store as a source.
