I have a HP Envy Photo 7155 printer. I recently got a new computer with Windows 11 installed on it. The HP Scan and Capture App no longer works. Is there a HP Scan and Capture App for Windows 11?

Hi @la0021,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

Do not worry, I'd be happy to help you! 

 

I understand that you are facing issues with The HP Scan and Capture.

 

HP Scan and Capture requires that the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software is installed.

Next, The printer must be added to the Scan and Capture application.

 

Method - Use the Easy Start Software to Install HP Smart and/or the Full Feature / Full Driver Software

 

Easy Start Installation Package - Information and Download / Save

 

  • Open  Home Page - HP Easy Start >> Click to open Category Software and Drivers 
  • Download and Save the current version of the Easy Start Software installation package  to install your print software

Easy Start can be used to install your printer software or the HP Smart application.

 

If the HP Smart Application is (already) Uninstalled, Use Easy Start OR Get a new copy of the application from the Microsoft Store

 

If you want to install the full driver printer software, choose the "Full Software and Drivers" option during the Easy Start installation procedure.

 

Basic Instructions - Install the Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software

 

Preparation

 

  • If the printer software is still / already installed, Uninstall the printer software  from Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features > Restart the computer and log in – Reference Uninstall HP printer software and drivers

 

NOTE:  If the printer also installs Help files - Uninstall the printer help file package from Programs and Features when you are uninstalling the main printer software.

 

  • >>> After the printer software is uninstalled, check that the printer is not still lurking in Devices and Printers.  If the printer is listed, Right-Click on the printer and "Remove" > Restart the computer and sign in.

 

Continuing

  • If using VPN, shut it off to install software.  NOTE >> If you don’t know what this is, you are not using a VPN – ignore this part.

 

  • Reminder:  If using USB cable between printer and computer, disconnect the cable before installing software.  Later... Connect the cable when instructed (near the end of the installation procedure).

 

  • Observation:  It is possible (assuming your Wireless Network is stable) that using a Wireless connection to install the printer software might work better than using an Ethernet Connection.   Personal choice - The wireless connection method is recommended when you face insurmountable issues installing the software.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
