I am able to print remotely but not scan. When I click on Scan, in the Printer Assistant, I get "Office Jet 6700 was not found".
If I click on Manage Scan to Computer, the message says "Scan to Computer is enabled".
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,,,

- If your printer in not in the list, turn it off and on, and then click Retry.
- If there is a connection problem, follow the instructions in HP Print and Scan Doctor.
- If a screen prompts you to turn on printer updates, click Yes.
- If a screen prompts you to make your printer the default printer, click Yes.

Check Windows Image Acquisition settings
Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) allows communication between the computer and scanner. If WIA is not on or running correctly, scan jobs can fail.
