How to scan to a notebook via wireless from a shared printer/scanner on another (desktop) machine

[jsauser11]

Have a C5550 attached to a desktop Win 10 computer and shared via the local network.

How do I get my notebook (Win 10 64) to install the correct drivers to recognize this shared network printer as also a scanner?

I can print to it fine, but can't seem to get it recognized as a scanner.

Once downloaded, make sure to run the file to start the installation and follow the on-screen instructions.

Thanks for the tip. I have already installed the Full Featured Driver, and still no ability to scan to my laptop. During installation, the driver install application will NOT allow you to choose a network shared C5550, you have to attach the laptop directly to the C5550 via USB or the install application will not complete the printer install.

This model printer is not compatible with any other scanning applications due to its age. If the issue persists, please reach out to the HP Technical Support team in your region for further assistance. 

You may create a case on the website to obtain a case number if required. Kindly watch this video to know how.

Keep me posted for any other assistance.
