Scan to email error message “you cannot use this function because it has been disabled.  For more information, contact the person who set up the printer(Which was a HP agent).  Under the Scan tab only webscan appears, no scan to email option, and the address book empty even though I saved 4 email addresses on the physical printer.

Hi @Nono2010

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you.

 

Let us try these steps to resolve this issue:

  • Obtain the IP address of the printer – You can touch the “wireless” icon on the printer control panel to obtain the IP address.
  • Type the IP address at the top of your web browser to obtain the printer EWS page on your computer.
  • If you get any security notification, click on show details/advanced and 'proceed to this website'.
  • On the printer homepage, click Scan in the top menu.

    A 'You cannot use this function because it has been disabled' message displays.

    Webscan error displays on the printer homepage

  • Click Settings in the top menu, click Security, and then click Administrator Settings.

    A message displays that you are being redirected to a secure HTTPS-enabled page. Click OK or Redirect to HTTPS.

  • If a Your connection is not private message displays, click Advanced, and then click Proceed to [Printer IP address].

  • In the Administrator Settings, locate and select the box next to Webscan or Webscan from EWS, click Apply, and then click OK.

  • Return to the Scan menu, select the scan preferences, click Start Scan, and then follow the instructions to save the scan.

    Example of the Webscan settings screen
