@Shemp3, Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

To be able to assist you better, I would like to know the following:

  • When you mention vanished, are you not able to see the printer under printers and scanners?
  • Is there any error message on the screen?
  • Is there any antivirus software installed on your computer?
  • How are the devices connected?

Keep me posted for further assistance.

I solved my problem by connecting computer to printer. Printer displayed in Sys Pref/Printers. Scan OK. But why was connection needed?

@Shemp3

 

Without connecting you can only download and not complete the installation.

 

I hope that answers your concern adequately. Let me know!
