Have recently upgraded to Windows 10 64 bit.
Since the transition my PC is not recognizing the scanner on my printer.
I know it's there.
I know it works.
I can copy documents, but can't upload them to an e-file (scan).
I downloaded the HP Smart app, and when I select 'scanner' the error I get is:
HP Smart cannot scan from this printer. Either the printer does not have a scanner or HP Smart cannot use the scanner in this printer.
Then it goes on to offer to use a 'camera' or 'import' which is b.s. frankly.
I MUST have scanner use particularly now with our work from home/remote access.. I KNOW it's possible, because I had it working ON WINDOWS 10 before we left our office a month ago. I even briefly pulled up a 'preview' scan but now it's being a **bleep** and won't even acknowledge that it knows what a scan is.

Hi,
Your printer is not supported by the HP Smart app.
- If the printer is connected with a USB, unplug the cable at this time.
- Click the Start button and then the gear (settings) icon.
- Click Devices and then Printers & Scanner.
- Select any instance of your printer and select Remove Device.
- Download and launch the HP Software for your printer:

Note: for a USB connection, do not plug the cable till the installation guide to do so. - Select the required installation option, then click on Install Printer Software and follow the step on-screen to install your printer.
Once completing the installation, you may scan using the Scan To program.
