I have a LaserJet Pro MFP M126nw printer, which software do I need to download to scan from the same printer?

Hi @Sawan9 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

I understand how important it is for you to be able to scan smoothly from your HP LaserJet Pro MFP M126nw, and I appreciate the effort you’ve already put into setting things up. Since printing and scanning require different software components, let’s focus on what you need for scanning.

 

Software required for scanning

For your LaserJet Pro MFP M126nw, you will need the HP LaserJet Pro MFP M126nw Full Solution Software and Drivers package. This includes the scanning utility along with drivers for Windows.

You can download it directly from HP’s official support page here:
https://support.hp.com/in-en/drivers/hp-laserjet-pro-mfp-m126-series/5307349/model/5307350

 

Steps after installation

1. Install the full solution package on your Windows PC.
2. Restart your computer once installation completes.
3. Open the HP App (this replaces HP Smart) or the included HP Scan utility.
4. Add your printer and test scanning a document.
5. If the printer is connected via USB, ensure the cable is firmly seated. For network scanning, confirm the printer is on the same Wi‑Fi or Ethernet network as your PC.

You’ve already shown great care in troubleshooting. Installing the full solution package will give you the scanning functionality you’re missing. Would you like me to also share how to run a Scanner Test Page after installation? That helps confirm the scanner is communicating correctly with your PC before you begin regular use.
