Have you figured anything out yet? I have been getting the same issue, but haven't had any time to work on it. Are we just having to purchase a new piece of equipment again?

I appreciate the suggestion, and I'm going to save this but not try it, yet. It turned out my issue was that I had my VPN software enabled so I was not able to connect to my cloud account and printer.  But thanks.

HP Recommended

I'll glad you got this sorted out

 

Drop us a message anytime you need help

 

Thank you

Hi  Is there an equivalent for the HP Envy 5544 All-in-one printer/scanner?   I am having the same problem with the scanner as the other users have reported.    Have tried uninstalling and then installing EN5540_Full_WebPack_1119 (from HP Driver downloads) but this has not solved the problem.    Thanks.

Hi LightsOut, I got advice from HP Support and it worked.

Delete the HP Smart program and re-install it from MS Store.

Cheers from Wilbert

@KrazyToad, Is there an equivalent for HP Envy 5546?  I'm loathe to go through the uninstall process and then not be able to reconnect my printer again.  Thanks!!
