Hello Community,
My HP OfficeJet 6500 is able to print from my computer, but I currently can not scan anything. In the printer, under scan, it could not find my computer. From my computer, it shows the printer is offline even though I can print no problem. Using a printer status report, I confirmed the printer is connected via wireless to my network and my computer is connected to the same network.
Thank you to anyone who can help.
