I always get this message when I try to scan with HP Smart (it is in Dutch). It tells me to restart my printer, but that didn't change the situation.
I just changed laptops (now a newer one in the envy x360 series) and with this laptop it hasn't worked. My printer (HP envy 5030 all in one) still works when I use windows itself (printing and scanning).
I have tried the HP print en scan doctor application, this didn't help. I also re-installed the HP smart appliction. And I tried to change some of the scan settings (dpi, edge detection on/off, color/black&white,...) without result.
Does anybody know whats wrong?

@TP99, Welcome to HP Support Community!
Uninstall the app from your Windows 10 device through the All Apps list.
-
In Windows, search for and open Apps & features.

-
Click HP Smart in the list of apps, and then click Uninstall.

Now, try installing the HP Smart App and try scanning.
If the issue persists, I would suggest Using the HP Scan and Capture App (Windows 8 and 10) to scan.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
