Remote scan not supported on HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw?

[nskmda]

Hello everybody,

I 'inherited' this here HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw from a friend of mine.

But I don't have any documentation.

So far I managed to configure the device to connect to my local network and print a test page.

Now...

Can you please tell me if it supports remote scanning from a computer?
I tried HP SmartApp but today's version doesn't support this printer. Besides, I don't want to scan to a mobile device, I need a remote scan from a computer.

Should I download a Windows version of the app instead?

Or would it also miserably fail to work with this old model?

Thanks.

Hi @nskmda,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

The HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw does support scanning, but remote scanning is limited due to its age and software compatibility.

Remote Scanning Options:

HP Smart App (Not Supported)

• As you've found out, the latest version of HP Smart App does not support this printer.
• Newer versions of HP software dropped support for older models like the M276nw.

Windows HP Scan Software (Possible Solution)

• Instead of HP Smart, try using HP Scan software from the Full Feature Software and Driver package for Windows.
• Install it and check if HP Scan allows remote scanning.

Scan to Network Folder / Email (Built-in Feature)

• Your printer has "Scan to Network Folder" and "Scan to Email" features.
• You can configure these options in the Embedded Web Server (EWS):
  • Open a web browser on your computer.
  • Enter the printer’s IP address (found on the printer’s network settings).
  • Look for Scan Settings > Network Folder Setup or Email Setup.
• This will allow you to send scanned documents to a shared folder or email.

Third-Party Scanning Software

• If HP Scan doesn’t work, try using Windows Fax and Scan or VueScan (a third-party scanning tool that supports older scanners).

Alright. I will give the HP Scan a shot.
Is it supported by all Windows versions?

Hi @nskmda,

Yes, HP Scan should work on most Windows versions, but compatibility depends on your Windows OS version and the driver package available for your HP LaserJet Pro 200 MFP M276nw.

Windows 10 / 11

Official HP drivers may not be available for Windows 11.

Try installing the Full Feature Software and Driver for Windows 10 from the HP Support Website.

If it doesn’t work, use Windows Scan App or VueScan (third-party).

Windows 8.1 / 7

Full HP Scan software is supported.

Download the Full Feature Software and Driver from HP’s website.

Next Steps:

Check HP’s website for the correct driver: HP Support.

Try HP Scan and Capture from the Microsoft Store if HP Scan doesn’t work.

Let me know if you need more help.

I hope this helps.
