I bought a new desk top PC (Windows 11), but cannot find the original scanner software disk (Read-Iris) that came with the HP LaserJet M1217 nfw MFP. The basic scanner driver/software I have found on the internet work, but does not work fast and requires setup every time I scan. That is much too tedious. Suggestions please.

If you have scan software that does the job, use that.
