HP Scan software missing from software download page.

[Whili]

Hello,
following a macbook reset i am unable to find HP Scan/ HP Easy Scan program. It does not appear in list of available drivers and software. Links to the download page are showing as not valid. App store shows that the software does not exist. Answers in this community help forum lead to broken links. 
Please kindly provide me with a valid link, installation file for Mac or instruction on how to install HP Scan/ HP Easy Scan. I am NOT interested in using HP Smart software - this is too poorly made providing very bad user experience and certainly not worth the time or effort to install or discuss its lack of capabilities or ease of use.

Hi @Whili,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand your frustration with the HP Smart software and your preference for HP Scan or HP Easy Scan. Unfortunately, it seems that HP has discontinued the standalone HP Scan and HP Easy Scan applications for Mac, and they are no longer available for download separately.

However, you can still scan using your HP Smart Tank 530 printer directly from your Mac without using the HP Smart software. Here's how you can do it:

Using System Preferences:

• Connect your printer to your Mac and turn it on.
• Open System Preferences on your Mac.
• Click on "Printers & Scanners."
• Select your HP Smart Tank 530 printer from the list on the left.
• Click the "Scan" tab.
• Click the "Open Scanner" button to launch the scanning interface. You can then scan documents or images directly from here.

Using Preview:

• Open Preview on your Mac.
• Click on "File" in the menu bar.
• Select "Import from Scanner" or "Import from [Your Printer's Name]."
• Follow the on-screen instructions to scan your documents or images.

These methods should allow you to scan documents and images using your HP Smart Tank 530 printer without the need for HP Scan or HP Easy Scan software. HP Easy Scan ( Reference Video: Scan from an HP Printer in macOS )

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
