Hello,


To solve this problem, try the following solution:

  1. On the keyboard, press the Windows and X keys simultaneously.
  2. Click on Windows PowerShell (Admin) and then click Yes.
  3. Type get-appxpackage -allusers *HPPrinterControl* | remove-appxpackage, then press Enter key. The uninstallation of HP Smart is performed.
  4. Restart the computer.
  5. Open the Microsoft Store application, then in the search bar type HP Smart and click on it.
  6. Click on Install, then wait for the installation to complete.
  7. Once the installation is complete, open the HP Smart application.
  8. Follow the instructions on the HP Smart application launch screen, then get to the page where it offers you Set up a new printer or Sign in, click on Sign in.
  9. Once you are logging into your account, try to scan.

If this still does not work, I recommend that you install the full version of your printer software and driver available from the HP link below.

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/printers/OJ7740/Full_Webpack-40.15.1230-OJ7740_Full_Webpac...

To scan use the HP Scan application:

  1. Open the HP Printer Assistant application: Double click on the shortcut of your printer on the Windows desktop (HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 series). This will open the HP Printer Assistant window. 
  2. Click on Print, scan & fax, then on Scan.
  3. Click on Scan a document or a photo. The HP Scan application window opens.

Don't hesitate to contact us in case of need.

Hi Mans,

Thank you for your help.  HPSmart  app sucks, but I have downloaded the full version of the software as suggested and I can now scan.  So far so good!
