I'm getting a green cloud icon from my HP wireless printer - meaning I can't scan anything.  It will allow me to print, but not scan. My (HP) laptop and the printer are on the same wireless network.  Any help/advice?

Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

Depending on your printer model, whether you have other (mobile) devices connected to the printer, the application you are using, and whether you have HP+ service enabled, the following explains the "Green Cloud" status icon.

 

HP printers - 'Scanning is Currently Unavailable' displays in the HP Smart app (Windows, macOS)

 

Section - Fix scan issues for network-connected printers (HP Smart app)

Step 3 - Check the printer status in the HP Smart app

 

 

Sample - HP Smart - Connection Status

====================================

 

If you have not done so,

Check / Update  >>

Every device (computer(s) and mobile) where HP Smart is installed should be running the latest version of the HP Smart application available for that device platform (Operating System / Version).

 

What else?

 

Open application HP Smart (Windows)

Select Help and Support

Scroll down –

Open and read section(s) – For example,

HP+

HP Smart Advance

Print Anywhere

Print Anywhere Online Support
