Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

What you do depends on

The type of shortcut -

For example --

Shortcut for installed printer printer software, shortcut for installed scan software - shortcut for scan app.

 

AND

The Operating System / device you are using -

For example -

Windows , MacOS , adding a link to the homepage of your tablet device.

 

 

The following is relevant to supported printer software and supported version of Windows.

 

Add Printer Assistant Software shortcut and Printer HP Scan shortcut:

Install the Full Feature Software

and / or

=========================

Printer - Full Feature Software - Install

 

If you have not done so, consider

 

 

  • 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.

 

If the full driver printer software is (already) installed but not working,

  • Uninstall any printer software from Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features
  • Restart the computer and sign in.

Next,

  • Check (for the Printer) in Devices and Printers  > If found, Right-Click Printer and Remove -- If any changes are made, that is, you remove anything, Restart the computer and sign in.

Next,

  • If using a printer USB cable between the printer and the computer, disconnect the cable before installing the printer software.
  • Download and Save the Full Feature Software installation package or the Easy Start Software

Installation

  • Open File Explorer
  • Navigate to the folder in which you saved the installation file  (likely Downloads)
  • Right-Click on the installation package and “Run as Administrator
  • If using a printer USB cable between the printer and the computer, connect the cable when instructed (near the end of the installation).
  • After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

====================================

 

The installation of the full driver adds at least two shortcuts to the Desktop:  

Printer Assistant 

HP Scan
