I've tried deleting and reinstalling the HP Smart app to be able to scan because all I'm getting is a message to sign in online (which I already am, and yes, have tried signing in after as well) and then it just sits there loading and doing nothing. Can anyone help?

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help,
I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue: Troubleshoot HP Smart app sign-in or account creation issues on a Mac.
- Make sure your Mac is connected to the internet and the default browser is up to date.
- Force quit the default internet browser.
- On the Mac, click the Apple icon
, and then select the option to Force Quit the browser.
- Select the name of your internet browser in the list, and then click Force Quit.
- Close and reopen the HP Smart app, and then sign in to or create an account.
- If you can sign in, you are done troubleshooting.
- If you cannot sign in to or create an account, close the HP Smart app, and then continue with these steps.
- Change the default browser to Safari.
- On the Mac, click the Apple icon
, and then click System Preferences > General.
- In the General settings, select Safari from the Default web browser drop-down, and then close the window.
- Open the HP Smart app, and then sign in to or create an account.
- If you can sign in, you are done troubleshooting. After the printer setup is complete and you can sign in, change the default browser back to your preferred settings.
- If you cannot sign in to or create an account, restart the Mac. Open the HP Smart app, and then sign in to or create an account again.
- If the issue persists, use Apple AirPrint as a temporary workaround to print and scan files. For more information, go to HP printer setup (Mac built-in driver).
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
