Yes, I believe the app has a bug. Something changed.  I seen a number of people that has the same issue. 

Not sure if they are going to fix it. I use it every day. 

I may have to buy a new printer/scanner. I tried to find an app that would work but to this point have not. I have docs I need to scan today and most likely will need to buy a new one.

I have the same issue, my scanning worked with HP smart app on Friday, but when I tried to use it yesterday, it is not working.

I have determined it is an issue with the HP smart app, because I was able to scan with the HP scanner using another app.

There seems to be a problem with HP Smart and the latest updates from windows

 

reinstall the full feature drivers then use HP Scan or the latest HP Smart

 

Full feature software April 2024

 

After installing the full feature driver package, click the windows key and select all apps and find HP.

Look for HP Scan.

If HP scan is not present then use HP Smart.
get HP Smart from the microsoft store if needed or if you want the newest version. You will have to sign into HP Smart using your HP account. The latest version as of Jun, 2024 is 154.1.1072.0 (USA English). If you do not have this version then go to the Microsoft store, find HP Smart, and click "update". If the button "update" is missing then you need to run "wsreset" from the Windows search bar.

To put HP Smart (or HP Scan) on the desktop:

For Windows 10, click Start. For Windows 11, click Start and click All apps This will show (see above) a list of all apps you have installed in Windows. Find the target app from the list, drag and pull the app from the Start menu to the desktop. This will create a desktop shortcut for the app installed from Microsoft Store.

Let me know if this helps.
