Welcome to the HP Community --

There are HP driver three options - two of which should suffice (be enough).

If you cannot wait and must scan something now, consider using Windows Scan.

Windows Scan is either already in stalled or can be found at the  Microsoft Store

AND

HP Smart can be installed from the Microsoft Store  

Go directly to the Store or...

Software and Drivers for HP LaserJet MFP M140w Printer  

If needful, change the Operating System / version to Windows 11

What else?

The Full Solution / Full Driver printer software is supported for your printer and Windows 11.

The full driver includes HP Scan.

And - supported on this printer and Windows 11 --

HP Universal Scan is available as a separate, optional, stand-alone installation.

Note that if you install the full driver printer software, then in most cases you need not install the separate HP Universal Scan package.  That said, if you can't stand the idea of possibly missing out on something, the system (your computer) will tolerate installing both the full driver and the Universal Scan software.

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

Printer Software - Full Driver

Uninstall existing printer software

• Uninstall existing full driver printer software from Programs and Features.
• If your printer includes a separate "help" in Programs and Features, uninstall that, too.
• Restart the computer and log in.

Install full driver printer software

• If the printer is connected to the computer using a printer USB cable, remove / disconnect the cable before loading the software.

Download, Save, and Install

• If using a USB cable to connect the printer to your computer, connect the cable when instructed to do so (near the end of the software installation process.

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

               Installed Software

Containers, Shortcuts on the Desktop

            What about HP Scan?

Once installed, the full driver printer software will have added one of two "container" shortcuts on the Desktop:

• Printer Assistant - named for the printer model

OR

On newer printers and when the new full driver printer software no longer supports the Printer Assistant:

• Scan Assistant - named for itself

Example - Various Printer related Shortcut icons on the Desktop

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

HP Universal Scan Software - Optional

Separately -- Supported on this printer and Windows 11

Installation of the HP Universal Scan Software adds an "HP Scan" self-named shortcut icon to the Desktop.

NOTE

If you have installed the full driver printer software, you do not need to install HP Universal Scan -- the version of HP Scan that installs with the software for this printer is a functional match to the HP Universal Software.

That said, if you can't stand it, the system will tolerate installing both the full driver and the HP Universal Scan software.
