HP Smart

Smarter printing with powerful tools in your pocket

HP Smart turns your HP printer into a far more capable home or office companion, bringing printing, scanning, and faxing together in one streamlined dashboard. Instead of juggling different tools, you can handle documents, photos, and supplies from a single, clean interface.

The standout feature is how well it handles scanning and sharing. Using your device’s camera, you can capture documents, crop and straighten them automatically, then export as PDF or JPEG. Quick edits—like filters, text overlays, and basic photo adjustments—are built in, so you can tidy up a receipt or sharpen a photo before sending it to cloud storage or email. It feels like a light document scanner and photo editor rolled into your printer remote.

Print Anywhere and Mobile Fax add a serious productivity boost. Print Anywhere lets you send jobs to your HP printer even when you’re not on the same network, handy for finishing tasks before you get back to your desk. Mobile Fax removes the need for a physical fax machine, allowing you to send secure faxes directly from stored files or new scans.

Smart Tasks are another welcome touch: you can create one-tap shortcuts for repetitive actions, such as scanning a pile of invoices straight to a specific email or cloud folder. Families will also appreciate the Printables section, which offers free crafts, cards, and learning activities to keep kids engaged.

On the downside, some advanced options are locked behind an HP account and a stable internet connection, and the app can occasionally feel sluggish when managing multiple printers. Still, for most HP printer owners, HP Smart is an essential companion that makes everyday printing and scanning far more convenient and efficient.
