Odd.

Do mean the app literally expired, that is, app died - toes up - and no longer works?

 

OK - This might happen if you are trying to run the HP Smart app on a Mobile device that is no longer supported.

For example, your Operating System / version is too old to run the app.  The minimum version of the OS does shift upward on occasion.

 

True - HP Smart has never run in all Windows OS versions.   

Check in the   Microsoft Store > Search for HP Smart > check for the minimum Windows version.

At this writing:

System Requirements

Available on: PC

OS:  Windows 10 version 17763.0 or higher

Architecture:  x86, x64, Arm

 

 

What else?

If you are running a device (computer, tablet, phone) with a supported Operating System, there are generally methods you can use to print (and scan) that do not include HP Smart.

Printer - Full Feature Software

 

HP Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software - supports printing and scanning from the web, printing in in other software and programs (for example, Word), and provides access to the full range of Printing Preferences / Shortcuts.  The full driver generally adds at one, possibly least one, possibly two shortcuts to the Desktop: Printer Assistant, HP Scan Assistant, and/or HP Scan.

 

NOTES:  

 

HP Scan is not installed if the printer does not support Scan.

 

The Printer Assistant is not installed if the type of full driver software does not support it.  If the printer model includes built-in Fax hardware, the software supports the setup and use of the Fax driver. No Sign-in required.
