Error message is as follows: Something unexpected happened. We weren't able to resolve the issueand can't finish printer setup right now. You can try connecting again or continue setup from HP Smart in a few hours..
I have waited over 8 hours, turned Chromebook and printer off and on, closed and re opend the HP Smart App, still won't scan
