MacBook Pro running MacOS 14.3.1 Sonoma. HP Office Jet Pro 8725. Using the currently available EZ Scan software from the Apple App Store. I have used this printer and MacBook with the then current Mac OS and the EZ Scan software since about 2020 without problem.
I was literally doing a series of routine scans without incident when a got a msg "HP Easy Scan quit unexpectedly." Since then after scanning a document I get the HP Easy Scan quit unexpectedly" msg. when I select either "Edit" or "Send to" and "desktop;" however, if I select "Send to" and "print," the scanned image(s) print(s) perfectly.
I recently updated the Mac OS, but used 14.3.1 without incident for several days before EZ Scan software stopped working.
I have deleted and reinstalled EZ Scan from the Apple App Store multiple times with identical results.
I dealt with several HP support people. None of them were able to help with the issue.
I then dealt with a seemingly knowledgeable Apple support person who, after about 40 minutes of screen sharing, took the position that the issue is with the HP software. He did, however, identify a clumsy workaround that works, but is very inefficient compared to EZ Scan.
What was a key productivity tool is now a time-consuming bottleneck.
