Welcome to the HP Forums. I would be happy to help you with your HP OfficeJet4620 printer. I understand that your scanner is not getting recognized and you have already done some preliminary troubleshooting. 

 

Don't worry though as I have a few steps to determine the issue and find a solution as well,

  • Check Windows Image Acquisition settings.
  • Temporarily disable firewall software on the computer.
  • Check the printer connection status.
  • Click here and follow the document to perform above steps.

Let me know if that works.

Cheers.
