after Windows 10 update, OfficeJetPro 8720 shows only pre-set features in scanner. need to reset

[mldc9999]

After a recent Windows 10 update, the scan function in my OfficeJetPro 8720 permits only pre-set scan functions (e.g., can no longer tell it not to scan blank pages).  The hp.com FAQs directs to uninstall software at Programs/Uninstall, but the printer is not listed.  hp.com downloads appears to give me the options for a full re-install, including signing up for instant ink (not wanted) or for corporate customers.  How & from where do I download a driver with the full scan setting options?

@mldc9999, Welcome to HP Support Community!

I recommend you delete the driver and root level and retry, follow the steps below: 

1) In Windows, search for and open Programs and features 

2) Select your HP Printer 

3) Select Uninstall 

4) In Windows, search for and open Devices and printers 

5) In the Devices and Printers windows look for your HP printer. If you see it listed right-click on it and choose ‘Delete’ or ‘Remove Device’ 

6) Open up the run command with the “Windows key + R” key combo. 

7) Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between “printui.exe”

😎 Click on the “Drivers” tab 

9) Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it Click on it and click Remove at the bottom 

10) Select Ok 

11) Select Apply and Ok on the Print Server Properties windows 

12) Close Devices and Printers.

Use this link to download and install the new driver. Configure the printer and try scanning

Refer to the document HP Printers - How to Scan (Windows) for alternate scanning options.
