Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

If you do not want to sign in, you cannot use HP Smart.

What?

There are generally ways to fix the sign-in issue -- the fact remains that the application does require that you are signed into the app using your HP Account credentials.  OK - leaving that for now as "unwanted".

 

If you are running a supported version of Windows,

Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software.

The full driver includes the HP Scan software.

No sign-in.

The Full Feature Software also supports printing from other programs and applications, including apps and software that "scan".

Excellent.

You are welcome.

 

With the installation of the full driver printer software, there are additional scan applications and programs available for your use.

 

For example...

 

HP Scan and Capture

Available from the Microsoft Store (formally Windows Store) - Requires Windows 8 or higher

Download-Save-Install   HP Scan and Capture

 Description

HP Scan and Capture is a simple and fun application that captures photos or documents from any* HP scanning device or your computer's built-in camera.  These images can be previewed, edited, saved, and shared to other applications.

 

HP Scan and Capture features an adjustable screen size.

 

* NOTE:  The correct HP print software drivers for your scanner must be installed from HP's Support Website.

 

  

Application controls / options

 

Windows 10 -

Settings > Apps > Apps and Features

 

Windows 11 - 

Settings > Apps > Installed Apps

 

Scroll / Search for HP Scan and Capture

Left-click on the App for options associated with this app.

If available, Click Advanced for additional controls.

 

 Examples - HP Scan and Capture - Menus

First time...

Scan_and_Capture_Add_Select_Device_2Scan_and_Capture_Add_Select_Device_2

 

Crop menu / options

Scan_and_Capture_Crop_3Scan_and_Capture_Crop_3

 

=========================================

 

NAPS2 – “Not Another PDF Scanner” (Free – Donations gladly accepted by the NAPS2 organization)

  • Download-Save-Install >  NAPS2 
  • Not another PDF Scanner – free program scans PDF files and image(s) as .jpeg or PDF file(s).
  • Not always simple “Plug and Play”, nonetheless, this free software is powerful and configurable.
  • NAPS2 might require that the full driver printer software is installed.
