Hello @DRTex1, Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

I understand you are facing a scan-related issue with your HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw. Let us try a few troubleshooting steps to see if the issue can be resolved. 

 

Perform a power drain: 

  • With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  • Remove USB cable, if present.
  • Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
  • Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
  • Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle

 

Reinstall the HP print driver (Windows)
 

Uninstall then reinstall the print driver on a Windows computer.

  • In Windows, search for and open Programs and Features.
  • elect your HP printer.
  • Select Uninstall.
  • In Windows, search for and open Devices and Printers.
  • In the Devices and Printers window look for your HP Printer. If you see it listed, right-click on it and choose "Delete" or "Remove Device.”
  • Open up the run command with the "Windows Key + R" key combo.
  • Type printui.exe /s and click OK.
  • Click on the Drivers tab.
  • Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it click on it and click remove at the bottom.
  • Select OK.
  • Select Apply and OK on the Print Server Properties windows.
  • Close Devices and Printers.

And then reinstall the printer's full-featured drivers from the software and drivers link - HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Support

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted. 

 

Have a great day!
