Welcome to the HP Community --

 

HP Document - How to Scan

 HP Printers - How to Scan (Windows, Mac, Mobile) | HP® Customer Support

 

==================================

Printer Print and Scan Application

 

Scan apps for Windows are available, including HP Smart (soon to be "HP App")

 

The HP Smart application is available in the Microsoft Store

Search the site for "HP Smart"

Not your store?

Scroll to the bottom of the page and Select the Language / Location

 

Example - HP Smart - Windows - Main Menu

HP_Smart_Win_Main_Menu_12HP_Smart_Win_Main_Menu_12

 

Example - HP Smart - Windows - Scan Photo > Save

HP_Smart_Win_Scan_Photo_Save_4HP_Smart_Win_Scan_Photo_Save_4

 

Example - HP Smart - Windows - Scan PDF > Save

HP_Smart_Win_Scan_Document_Save_16HP_Smart_Win_Scan_Document_Save_16

 

 

Printer Software

 

Yes, if your computer is running a compatible version of Windows, the printer software is available and should download, save, and then be able to be installed.

 

This printer also supports the Universal Scan Software - the software is part of the full driver or can be installed "stand alone".

 

 

Details / Examples

=====================

Printer Software - Full Driver

Reinstall the full driver printer software

 

  • Check / Install any pending Windows Updates 
  • If not done as part of Windows Updates, Restart your computer 

Next,

Uninstall existing printer software

  • Uninstall existing full driver printer software from Programs and Features.
  • If your printer software includes a separate "help" in Programs and Features, uninstall that, too.
  • Restart the computer and log in.

Install full driver printer software

  • If the printer is connected to the computer using a printer USB cable, remove / disconnect the cable before loading the software.

 

Web Pack Installation - Open Web Page - Full Driver Printer Software

HP Envy 6100 Series EasyStart Printer Setup Software - Offline Use Only 

 

Download, Save, and Install

 

  • If using a USB cable to connect the printer to your computer, connect the cable when instructed to do so (near the end of the software installation process.

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

 

=======================================

HP Universal Scan Software - Optional

 

Separately -- Supported on this printer and Windows 11

 

Installation of the HP Universal Scan Software adds an "HP Scan" self-named shortcut icon to the Desktop.

 

NOTE

If you have installed the full driver printer software, you do not need to install HP Universal Scan -- the version of HP Scan that installs with the software for this printer is a functional match to the HP Universal Software.

 

That said, if you can't stand it, the system will tolerate installing both the full driver and the HP Universal Scan software.

 

HP Universal Scan Software

 

Printer Model and Operating System version Dependent >>

 

When the software is installed, HP Universal Scan Software adds a self-named HP Scan software shortcut to the Desktop.

 

Note

Where supported, HPUSS can be installed as standalone or installed after the full feature / full solution printer software.

 

Open website  HP Universal Scan Full Feature Software

Next,

=======================================

HP Containers / Desktop Shortcuts

 

Next,

  • The full driver printer software will have added one or more "container" shortcuts on the Desktop:

 

  • Printer Assistant - named for the printer model

OR

On newer printers and when the new full driver printer software no longer supports the Printer Assistant:

  • Scan Assistant - named for itself

AND

  • The full driver printer software, once installed, will have added a shortcut icon for HP Scan

 

NOTE > Model Dependent

The shortcut for HP Scan that is part of the full driver might be named for the printer model.
