@Peany67, Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

To scan a document from your HP DeskJet wireless printer and send it to your Lenovo laptop, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Prepare the Printer and Document

1. Turn on your Printer: Ensure your HP DeskJet printer is turned on and connected to the same wireless network as your Lenovo laptop.
2. Place the Document: Open the scanner lid and place your document face down on the scanner glass. Align it with the indicated guides, usually located on the edges of the glass.

Step 2: Install the HP App

1. Download the HP App: If you haven’t already, download and install the HP app from HP App – For HP Printers, Laptops, and Tech Accessories | HP® Official Site
2. Sign In/Set Up: Open the app and either sign in with your HP account or set up a new account.

Step 3: Using the HP App for Scanning

1. Open the HP App: After the app opens, your printer should auto-detect if it is on the same network.
2. Select the Scan Option: From the app main screen, select 'Scan' or look for a scanner icon.
3. Adjust Scan Settings: Depending on your needs, adjust the scan settings, such as resolution, color preferences, and file type.
4. Initiate the Scan: Click on the 'Scan' button to begin scanning your document. Verify the scanned document to ensure everything is captured correctly.

Step 4: Save or Share the Document

1. Save the Scan: Once scanned, the document will appear on your screen.
2. Edit if Needed: Use any available tools in the app to edit or crop the scanned document as needed.
3. Save File: Choose a location on your laptop to save the scanned document. Typically, you can save it as a PDF or JPEG depending on what your form requires.

Step 5: Insert Scanned Document into Your Form

1. Open Your Form: Browse to the form where you need to insert the scanned document.
2. Insert the Document: Use the form’s insert or attachment options to include the scanned document from where you saved it on your laptop.
