Hi, I am looking for the original scanner software that came with the device. The HP "SMART" software is so horrible! The software page downloads that have an installer all try to install the smart program.  

 

Thank you!

The original scanner software is only for older versions of OS, for the newest OS it was replaced with HP Smart (which is not so smart). You can try to install software for WIN7 on Win11

Resolved.  Found the mfp scanner app and uninstalled the "smart" app.
