Not all the printer software is complicated, though what you can do does depend on your Operating System and what is available for that platform.

Not willing to use applications or software with a printer that does not even have a printer control panel can be challenging.

 

If the printer is on your network,

If you have a computer that the printer can find and where the scanned content can be saved,

Try / Consider:  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

Tab Settings > Security > Administrator Settings > Enable >> Check box next to Webscan

Click Apply to save any changes

 

Use Webscan

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

Tab Scan > Webscan 

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

Click Start Scan to scan your document / image using Webscan

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

 

 

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
