Microsoft Windows 11

I have the HP smart Printer M29W and I have also installed the scanner . It was working well. But today when I want to scan a document, it says "HP Printer M29-M31W was not found", though my PC is connected to HP Printer and I am to print. But the scanner application window on my PC is not opening to scan and it shows the above message. I really do not know what to do . I tried HP Print and Scan Doctor, but has not solved the problem. I am using latest updated version of Win 11, i.e. Win 11 Ver 22H2.

Can someone of the community help me as to why this message is displaying

I see that you are facing scanning issues with your HP LaserJet Pro MFP M29w Printer.

  

Please download and install the firmware update on the computer connected to the printer from this Link
