How do I add another computer to the SCAN function

[artzeldaaz]

My printer is shared between two computers.  Currently I can only Scan to one computer.  How do I add another computer so I can Scan to either of these two computers?

Hi @artzeldaaz,

I'd like to help!

I understand you would like to scan to or from both the computers.

To assist better -

1. Are you trying to scan from the printer or the computer?
2. What application are you using to scan?
3. How is the printer connected to the device USB or wireless?

Keep me posted.

I am trying to scan from the office jet pro printer

the application being used is the printer HP 9015E

the printer is connected wirelessly 

Please note two computers share this printer.  One computer is shown on the printer.  I would like to add another computer so I can scan to either computer.

You will have to install the full features drivers on the computer and enable the scan to computer feature.

Download the drivers from here-https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-officejet-pro-9010-all-in-one-printer-series/23... ( install HP Easy start under the installation tab)

Enable scan to a computer (Windows)

1. Open the HP Printer Assistant. Windows 10: From the Start menu, click All Apps, click HP, and then select the printer name. ...
2. Go to the Scan section.
3. Select Manage Scan to Computer.
4. Click Enable.

Let me know how this goes!

Yes, I was able to add another computer.  However now my HPSmart is no longer available. How do I get HPSmart back and functional?

What is the error you're receiving on HP Smart?

Let me know!

[artzeldaaz]

There is no message.  It got deleted and it won’t reinstall.

@artzeldaaz,

I understand that you are unable to install HP Smart, but could you try and install the full-featured drivers.

Let's try and uninstall the printer software from the root level on your PC and install the full feature printer software.

First, unplug the USB cable from the printer if present.

• Go to Control panel – Programs and feature – Select all the HP printer entries and uninstall them.
  • Now go to Control panel – Devices and printer – Select all the printer entries and remove the device.
  • Restart your computer.
  • Click the bottom-left Start button on desktop, type device manager in the search box and tap Device Manager on the menu.
  • Once in device manager, click on the view tab in the top & choose “Show hidden devices”.
  • Then from the device manager list, check the entries under “Printer” – If there are any entries, please right click and choose “uninstall” – In the confirm device un-install pop-up, make sure you select the box which says “Delete the driver software for this device". 
  • Also, check the entries under "printer queue" and "imaging devices" and repeat the same exercise. Delete any printer entry or any entry which says “Unknown device”.
  • Once done, close device-manger. Then press the "windows key" + "r" to get the "Run" window open - Type "printui.exe /s" and press enter.
  • Under print server properties, go to drivers - remove any entry there as well.
  • Again, go running window, type – “c:/programdata” – Go to Hewlett Packard folder, remove any printer related folders & files.
  • Once done you can try cleaning out your temporary files and cached files. You can try using automated applications like some cleaner software's that you can download from the internet.
  • Now restart your computer again.
  • Open the Run window again, type “services.msc” and press ok to get services window.
  • Scroll down to “Remote Procedure Call (RPC)” – right-click and go to properties. Make sure the service is started and startup type is “Automatic”.
  • Now scroll up and go to “Function Discovery Provider Host” – right-click and select properties – Change the startup type to “manual” and start the service.
  • Repeat the same exercise on “Function Discovery Resource Publication” as well
  • Windows image acquisition stop and restart the service 

Install all the available Windows updates

If it is been a while since you updated your Windows, that is the main reason why Windows says your HP printer driver is unavailable. Here are the steps how to do a Windows Update to install all accessible operating system update.

If you are accessing Windows 10, then these steps are for you.

1. Hit the Start menu and write an update. After that, click on the “Check for updates” option.
2. Tap on the “Check for updates” option.
3. After clicking on that option, Windows will install the updates automatically.
4. When Windows completes all its updates, start your computer again and attempt to print a file to check if your printer works.

Reinstall the drivers from the Software and drivers page

If the error persists, Try installing the printer with a windows built-in driver

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
