Welcome to the HP User Community.

If you can get it to work in your Windows 7,

Use the Easy Start software wrapper to help find and install the printer software

Information and Download

HP Easy Start Printer Setup Software 

Fortunately, since you don't want any of the plugins, you won't miss them.

These are not likely supported in Windows 7.

Reminder:  HP Smart (Windows print and scan app) is  not supported in Windows 7

If you have a supported mobile device,

You can (if you like) consider using HP Smart Mobile

Mobile Printing – Options for Printers

Print from your Android, iOS, or Amazon Fire device with the HP Mobile printing app.

Open the section for your printer series  >  Find your printer and supported applications.

Possibly consider...

If the printer is on the network,

It supports the Embedded Web Server (EWS)

EWS (in most cases) includes Webscan

Webscan – located in the Embedded Web Server (EWS) – No additional software

This option requires a network connection and EWS

EWS > HP Document / How-to

Use the HP printer Embedded Web Server (EWS)

NOTE:  Webscan feature  is not available on Laser printers

If the printer is on the network,

If the EWS feature is available on your printer,

First Time Use Only:  Enable Webscan

• Open your favorite browser > type / enter Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

• Set up Webscan the way you want it - for example, set the Source to ADF

• After the scan is complete, Save the scan to your computer.

Paint (mspaint)

Older software – not brilliant – does work for scanning images.                                                        

• Open  Paint
• Optional >> Expand the “white background” area to a size to accommodate your data.  If unknown, try 1300x1300
• File > Select “From Scanner or Camera”
• Select your printer > Follow the prompts to scan and then save your item

• Read the Support pages for information
• Read the Getting Started guide
