What the HP app is for
HP is the app HP Inc. publishes for its printers and computers. The listing says it replaces HP Smart under the new name, so people who used that earlier app will find the same kind of tools here.
It is aimed at owners of HP devices who want one place to set up hardware, print and scan, and get help when something goes wrong.
Setting up and managing an HP device
A guided setup walks you through getting a new printer running. After that, the app shows ink levels and lets you change device settings from the same screen.
The listing also says the app suggests HP products that match what you need, so it doubles as a way to browse the HP range.
Printing and scanning from a phone
You can print documents and cards from a phone whether you are at home or at work.
Scanning works the same way. The listing describes scanning a receipt and sending the file straight to an email address.
Getting HP support inside the app
When a device has a problem, the app offers three routes: a phone call to HP, live chat, or a search for answers within the app.
The listing presents these as the way back to using the device without leaving the app.
