Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
Not sure -- there are some places to look for hints about what is wrong.
For example,
Perhaps your phone is not running a supported version of Android OS to run HP Smart.
?
Consider adding or trying a different mobile print app - several are supported by the printer.
For example, Add / Install HP Print Service Plugin
Mobile Printing – Options for Printers
Start here
Print from your Android, iOS, or Amazon Fire device with the HP Mobile printing app.
Open the section for your printer series > Find your printer and supported applications.

You are welcome.
I would guess the network is not stable or perhaps strong enough to maintain a consistent connection.
Keep in mind that this is simply a guess -- the comment is not meant to diagnose your network.
Sorry - no other ideas.
