Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

If your HP scan software is missing or won’t open, you can restore full scanning functionality by reinstalling the HP App and ensuring your printer is properly connected. This applies whether you're using USB or Wi-Fi.

Step-by-step fix for missing HP scan software

1. Reinstall the HP App

HP Smart has been replaced by the HP App, which now handles all scanning, printing, and setup tasks.

Download the HP App from the Microsoft Store:
HP App – Microsoft Store
Install and launch the app.
Sign in with your HP account if prompted.

This app replaces older HP scan utilities and is required for full functionality.

2. Add your printer to the HP App

Open the HP App.
Click Add Printer.
Select your printer from the list (USB or Wi-Fi).
Follow the prompts to complete setup.

If your printer doesn’t appear, ensure it’s powered on and connected to the same network.

3. Use the Scan feature

Once your printer is added, click Scan from the home screen.
Choose Scan from Printer or Scan from Camera.
Adjust settings like resolution, color, and file format.
Save or share the scanned document.

4. Optional: Install full driver package

If scanning still doesn’t work, install the full driver and software suite:

Visit: HP Printer Drivers & Software
Enter your printer model (e.g., HP DeskJet 4130e, OfficeJet 9015e).
Download the Full Feature Software and Drivers for your operating system.
Run the installer and follow the setup instructions.

5. Troubleshoot scanner connection

If the scanner still isn’t found:
