can't scan from the HP 4650--says computer not connected

[vulcanrg]

4650 says the selected computer is not available,  But I can order a scan from the computer and it works fine.  I like to hit scan on the printer for my scans

Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Forums.

How to Scan to Computer

Once you have installed the FULL feature software:

1. Click on the printer Icon (on your desktop) and it will bring up the HP Printer Assistant.
2. Under the Scan menu, there is a “Manage Scan to Computer”, click on that.
3. Make sure that you “Enable” Scan to Computer. Also make sure the tab “Automatically start Scan to Computer when I log on to Windows” is checked if you want to make this feature permanent. (the following video will show you how)

Hope that helps.
