HP Printers - How to Scan (Windows, Mac, Mobile) | HP® Customer Support
If you have the full driver printer software installed and working, you can use HP Scan (part of the printer software).
If you have not done so,
Install the Full Feature Software.
========================================
Printer - Printer Software - Windows
HP Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software - supports printing and scanning from the web, printing in in other software and programs (for example, Word), and provides access to the full range of Printing Preferences / Shortcuts. The full driver adds at least two shortcuts to the Desktop: Printer Assistant and HP Scan. If the printer model includes built-in Fax hardware, the software supports the setup and use of the Fax driver. No Sign-in required.
