Setup ENVY Photo 7155 printer OK, but unable to scan

[tjsinger]

Recently setup a new ENVY Photo 7155 printer on WIFI.  Printer functionality is fine, but I need to setup scan functionality. How do I do that?

Hi @tjsinger,

I'd like to help!

To assist better-

Have you installed HP Smart or HP Easy start on your computer?

Meanwhile, try the below suggestions -

Install the HP Smart app on your computer running Mac or Windows.

1. Place the printer near the Wi-Fi router if you are setting up a wireless connection.

2. Make sure paper is loaded in the main tray, and then turn on the printer.

3. Download the HP Smart app from HP Smart - Microsoft Store (Windows 10) or HP Smart - Mac App Store (macOS).

   If you are prompted to sign in with Microsoft to use the app across devices, you can sign in or click No, thanks to continue.​

   NOTE: 

   Disconnect from a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection before downloading.

4. If you are setting up HP Smart for the first time, you must create or sign in to an HP account to access all printer functions.

5. Open the app to set up your printer.

   • If your printer is found, follow the instructions to complete the setup.

   • If your printer does not display or to add another printer to the app, click the plus sign , and then follow the instructions to add the printer.

Use HP Smart scan options

Save, share, and send scanned documents with the HP Smart app for Windows or Mac.

   NOTE: 

   The Get Started screen displays when you select Scanner, Import, or Camera for the first time.

   • Scanner: Place the original on the printer scanner glass or into the automatic document feeder (ADF). Select scan job type, size, color, and resolution settings, and then click Scan in the lower right corner.

   • Import: Select photos saved on your computer to apply a boundary, and then use the settings to edit, print, and share.

   • Camera: Uses the computer camera or a webcam to capture, edit, and print or share a photo or document.

   

4. From the Scan window, change settings, such as source, presets (document or photo type), page size or scan area, output type, and resolution to match the scan job.

10. Select an option to save, print, share, or fax the scan file.

    • Save: The default save location for scanned documents is the Documents folder and the Pictures library for scanned photos. Save the scan in the default location or browse to a different folder.

    • Share: Send the scan in an email, share via social media accounts such as Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, or save the scan in a cloud storage account, such as Box or OneDrive. You can also look for other apps in the Windows or Mac store.
