 Printer has a virus.
 I tried that web address and it showed me a page that said 'click here to find out how to print from Linux'
 And that lead to 'page not found'
 The app only apparently works on a mobile phone or Windows or a Mac. Tough if you haven't got anything that can scan a QR code.

That's not a problem. The app itself can not solve "the problem", it loops. That's the problem.

 I would contact HP  to service your printer and then refuse to pay when they have got it working.

No answer.

 The website is the typically woke  piece of function free crap featuring smiling ethnic minority images with complete absence of any technical information and requiring you give the cunts an email address  so they can bombard you with spam for ever more.
 I think the answer you don't want to hear is that HP are about to discover the truth of the old adage 'go woke: go broke'
 Buy a printer that definitely takes 3rd party toner and doesnt have all this shit.

I don't mind buying original HP toner. I do buy it. But I refuse to get a contract to pay them an amount every month so that they send me the package when the think I need one.
Even if it were possible, the app doesn't get there. It just loops.

 And defecate in the one you have and send it back to HP
