Hi @PAH1,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

Sure, let's walk through the steps to set up your HP Envy printer with scanning functionality on your laptop.

• Check Software Installation: First, ensure that you have installed the appropriate software for your HP Envy printer on your laptop. You can download the necessary drivers and software from the official HP website. Make sure you download the full-feature software package, which includes the scanning functionality.
• Connect the Printer: Ensure that your HP Envy printer is properly connected to your laptop via a USB cable or through a wireless connection. If you're using a wireless connection, make sure your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your laptop.
• Configure Printer Settings: On your HP Envy printer, navigate to the settings menu using the control panel. Check the network settings to ensure that the printer is connected to the same network as your laptop.
• Check Scanner Settings: Make sure that the scanning function is enabled on your printer. You can usually find this option in the printer's settings menu. Ensure that the scan to PC option is enabled.
• Test Scan: Try initiating a scan from your laptop. Open the HP scanning software on your computer, or you can use the built-in scanning functionality of your operating system. Look for the HP scanning application in your list of installed programs or search for it in the Start menu.
• Select Scan Source: In the scanning software, choose the source as your HP Envy printer. It should detect the printer automatically if it's properly connected to your laptop.
• Scan Document: Place a document or photo on the scanner bed of your HP Envy printer. In the scanning software, select the type of scan you want (e.g., color, black & white) and specify any other settings such as resolution or file format.
• Initiate Scan: Click on the scan button in the scanning software to start the scanning process. The scanned document should be saved to your computer according to the settings you specified.

By following these steps, you should be able to set up and use the scanning functionality of your HP Envy printer with your laptop. If you encounter any issues, double-check the software installation and printer settings, and ensure that both devices are properly connected to the same network.

I hope this helps.
