To use the HP Smart Mobile application, the printer must be connected to your network.

You may have to read / try more than one thing.

Start with learning / checking the network and trying to connect your printer to your network.

You are welcome.

 

It is unfortunate that you cannot find a solution.

 

There are troubleshooting tips available along with access to the Print and Scan Doctor.

This is for the PC running Windows.

 

HP Diagnostics - HP Support Diagnostic Tools - HP Laptop Computers & Printers

Print and Scan Doctor - Diagnostics - Printing  (Scroll down to see link)

 

If the doctor cannot fix it, it may at least tell you what it thinks is going on.

 

As a simple example, the printer is not connected to the network if the Blue wireless light is blinking.

 

Make sure the network is broadcasting the bandwidth to which you expect to connect.

Specifications > Connectivity

The printer is capable of connecting to either 2.4GHz or 5GHz.

If the SSID network name is different for each network bandwidth, enter the SSID name of the network you want to use.

If the 5GHz bandwidth just won't connect, connect to your 2.4GHz network.

 

If you decide the printer is at fault, that is, the issue is a hardware problem,

Contact HP Technical Support.

Be aware - The response centers are overwhelmed - the wait can be frustratingly long.

From HP:  HP Fraud Alert: Protect Yourself from Scams, Report Suspicious Calls

 

From HP > CAUTION

Recently, HP has seen an increased number of third-party support websites selling HP driver downloads or diagnostic tools. Many of these websites use the HP trademark symbol and claim to be official HP distributors.

 

If your product supports your operating system, HP offers your driver and software at no additional cost through the HP website.

 

Use caution when dealing with any website that asks you to pay for HP driver downloads or tools that claim to diagnose your HP products. These websites might not be affiliated with HP in any way.

 

Do not install BIOS updates from a motherboard manufacturer's website. Only install BIOS updates from HP. Installing BIOS updates from the motherboard manufacturer can prevent the computer from accepting an HP system recovery. This could result in a loss of data.
