thanks for you note!    I need to scan  documents with my HP-DeskJet-4152e scanner.   I cannot directions  for using this scanner.   Previously there was a Scan function on my Win 10 laptop, but  do NOT see this on my new Win11 Lenovo.   

Do I need to update driver?  If so, how do I do this?  

[HarryFin27]

I have already replied ,  but to repeat,  I cannot  find a way to turn on Scanner using the above 4152e App.   Do I need to update driver, and how to do this?  

Thanks,  Harry
