Office Jet 6978 running macOS 15.1  Scanning issue  HPSmart App

Using the HPDmart App trying to scan I keep getting the "Printer not available " error. I have run  HP Diagnose & Fix option and it found no errors. I have reset the printer and rebooted my Macbook Pro. I had the same issue periodically  on macOS14 and it would just 'go away' over time 

Has anyone else had this issue?
