@bmwfixer, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

I see that you have mentioned you are able to print. So, what is the issue?

To assist you better, are you referring to the HP Smart app? This app only works on Win 10

Click here to download the HP Full-feature driver.

Once downloaded, make sure to run the file to start the installation and follow the on-screen instructions.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
