Officejet 4630
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Scanner function on Officejet 4630, model B4L03A, stopped communicating with my laptop about 2 weeks ago. Printing is just fine. HOwever, any attempt to scan a document returns error message, "Scanner communication cannot be established. Ensure your product is powered on,...."  I have tried everything posted at HP (remove/install printer from control panel, remove/install printer software, reboot laptop and printer, cycle power on printer, etc.)  Nothing has worked. What is the secret to restore scanner communication?

I have gone through your Post and would like to help

 

Are you able to make Photocopies?

 

Please ensure the printer has the latest Firmware installed. Link:  https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c02919168

Printing is fine.  However, neither [Copy] or [Scan] will function. Firmware is up-to-date. See HP Case # 5053465862

If the issue persists after Firmware update then it would be a Hardware issue with the printer
