Good day, 

Can someone kindly advise what the problem is ... Out of no where my HP wants me to sign in when I tried to scan documents. I have tried everything to get this to work. I can print as it is downloaded but it wont let me sign in to scan? I did further search under contact us and it says my printer has expired. Surely even though it is no longer under warranty i should still be able to sign in and scan my documents?

I am beyond it now !

Welcome to the HP support community.

 

Are you trying to login into the HP Smart app?

I have a Laser Jet Pro MFP M130a I want to scan documents and its asking me to sign in. I enter password then says can not connect because of VPN. I removed my VPN and still can not connect. I entered my printer, scanner and it says its expired?

How are you trying to scan?

Are you using any application to scan?

The issue is why we suddenly have to "sign-in" to use the scanner. Doesn't matter which HP scanner it is - like a all-in-one laser. This gives HP access to our private information, including sending what should be "secure" material.  This is the only Help that actually comes up.

Does anyone have a cure?

The same way I always have - with HP Smart, on my Mac.  P.S.  It took me about an hour of wasted time to "sign in".
