My printer won't scan to my computer. Error message "No computer found" Message says "Make sure scanning to a computer is turnoned on. Windows: Open the HP printer software, select 'Scanner Actions' then select 'Manage scan to computer' ..." I don't know where to find the HP printer software though! Can anyone help please?

Hello;
Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!
Here are some troubleshooting tools you can use: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Officejet-4630-e-All-in-One-Printer-series/5305049/model/5305...
I would try the Print and Scan Doctor, first.
Good Luck

I have a Office jet Pro 8600 Premium and its connected to my home network. I have no problems printing from my Mac Pro or my iphone to the device, but when I attempt to scan from the printer to my computer, it says "no computer found". I go to the HP Utility and select Scan to Computer and Enable Scan to Computer...but it responds "Communication Error...unable to connect with device..."
I have always been able to do so but now it does not work?
I have tried restarting the devices and checked for new firmware (its current).
can somone help with this...thank you !

I have HP Officjet Pro 8620. I have run the scan doctor every day to try to scan to a pdf. If I try to scan from the printer panel, I get the message that no computer found, but if I go to my conrol panel it is there and showing installed. Its like I get it fixed and it disappears again. Suggestions?
