Welcome to the HP Community --

 

If you've not done so, you do have the option to uninstall the app from your phone.

"Get" a new copy of the app at    Apple Store Preview – HP Smart

Remember to switch on Bluetooth and location services during the initial connection.

 

Details and more places to find help and to check the setup and connection

Read the FAQs

For example: 

What is the HP Smart app and its requirements?

And / or

What if my cloud printer is missing, offline, or unavailable in the HP Smart app?

Checkpoints

  • For example:  Check network and Web Services requirements if the printer connection is lost when using Print Anywhere.
  • Printer discovery and status updates can take up to 45 seconds. If you are on a cellular or different wireless network, wait several seconds and try again. Swipe down on the HP Smart home screen to force a refresh.
  • Make sure the computer or mobile device is connected to a local or cellular network with internet access.
  • Connect the printer to a wireless network with internet access and make sure Web Services is enabled.
  • Sign into the HP Smart app with the same credentials used to claim the printer on the HP Smart website.
  • Android: Enable location permissions for the HP Smart app, and make sure the printer was added to the HP Smart app while using the same wireless network as your mobile device.
  • Make sure the version of HP Smart is the latest version of the app – all devices where the app is installed must be running the latest version of the app for that platform / device type.
