I recently reloaded my Mac OS.  Previously the Scanner was shown on the Printer status window.  After reloading the HP software, I no longer have access to the Scanner.  How do I get them both on the same window?

Hi @PGS2

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the scanning issue. 

 

To better assist you - 

 

1.) How is the printer connected - wired or wireless? 

2.) Are you able to print? 

 

While you respond to that, let's try updating your Mac to macOS 10.15.3 using these steps - How to update the software on your Mac

 

Also, try updating the printer's firmware - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted. 

 

Please click “Accept as Solution” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.

Click the “Kudos, Thumbs Up" on the bottom right to say “Thanks” for helping!

 

Have a great day!

I installed the HP Smart App which lets me access the scanner.

 

It took for every to find the Smart App.  I didn't realize it was on the Apple Store.
