HP Smart Quits Unexpectedly

[dawnjohnson22]

I just purchased my new HP OfficeJet Pro 8035e as a replacement for an older HP.  I have this same error message and am extremely frustrated with this response.  New printer, new drivers, even a new Mac.  I am not willing to purchase a plan to get support to make this product work for me.  I will return the printer.  Please advise as to if and when this issue will be resolved.  I appreciate it.

@dawnjohnson22, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

I understand the HP Smart app crashes. 

To assist you better, did you download this app from the App Store?

Which version of the HP Smart app are you using?

Go to HP Smart>About HP Smart. (The current version is 13.5.0)

Kindly check for any updates for this app in App Store.

Also, check for any software updates on Mac

Click the Apple icon > About This Mac > Software Update and install any available update.

Meanwhile, you may use the HP Easy Scan app to scan from the Mac as a workaround.

Update the printer firmware

Click here to download and install the latest printer firmware from your Mac.

Click here to know different methods of updating printer firmware.

Also, check for any software updates on Mac

Click the Apple icon > About This Mac > Software Update and install any available update.

Install the printer using the AirPrint driver for printing (recommended)

1.) Click the Apple menu, click System Preferences, and then click Print & Scan or Printers & Scanners. 

2.) Check if your printer name displays in the Printers list, If your printer is listed, click the printer name, click the minus sign to delete the printer. 

3.) If you see multiple printer queues for the same printer, remove all extra printers by selecting them one at a time, and then clicking the minus button at the bottom of the list. 

4.) Click the plus sign click Add Printer or Scanner, click the printer name. 

5.) Click the Use or Print Using menu, select AirPrint in the pop-up menu. Then click Add. 

Note: Select "Bonjour multifunction" under kind while installing.

Try printing.
