The link in step 7 gives an error message: The requested URL /pub/softlib/software13/printers/HPSmart2.0.pkg was not found on this server.

ALTHOUGH the link didn't work everything else worked great. I found the HP smart app (HP smart for mac) and reinstalled HP smart. Works like a charm. Thank you so much!

I assume the servers were not responding at that time. Apologies for the same. I have re-checked the link, it seems to be working now.

Glad to know that the issue is now resolved. Feel free to contact us with any concerns related to HP products.

Happy to help!

I downloaded Easy Scan and it still does not print.  Am I going to have to buy a new printer?

Did everything you suggested, printer is on network and says it's ready to print, but will not print.

Have you tried reinstalling the App?

 

Try printing from Preview and let me know if you are able to print. Refer to this Link: https://support.apple.com/en-sg/guide/preview/prvw15175/mac

 

Also ensure your Mac and Printer has the latest updates. Please refer to these links

Since HP Smart App is not working after the update, we can try adding the printer as Airprint, if it's supported

 

Please provide me with complete printer model or product number

 

You can refer to this Link: hp.care/2bygf7l for help in locating the Product Number.

 

Thank you
