I tried installing my printer again.  Downloads complete but when it gets to attaching the usb the screen stops and doesn't give further installation directions.

Sorry to hear that your printer is still not running as expected.  Have you run the HP Print and Scan Doctor ?

I know you posted this some time ago but I bought a new desktop with Windows 10 recently and also unable to scan to PDF.   I had absolutely no problem scanning to pdf on Windows 7.     While answer you received said to go through HP Assistant it makes you go through diagnostic tools for scanning - takes multiple steps.    I was told to download the latest drivers, etc which I did several times.  And the most unbelievable thing is that I actually contacted Windows support and chatted online with someone for over a half hour and he couldn't figure it out.   Told me I would have to get some scanning software.  

 

 I have literally spent hours on this issue and checked out scanning software until I finally FOUND the answer - search for Windows Scan and it pops up instantly - it is a free app.    

 

Installed it in 5 secs and scanned to pdf in 5 seconds.    

 

I am exhausted with this issue and totally blown away what people have been told to.     Adobe Acrobat DC does not scan to pdf - you can convert to pdf with a document already on your computer.   

 

Anyway - just wanted to pass it along.
