Good morning,
I connected my new printer Officejet Pro 8020 by USB, it works properly but it doesn't work when I make a scan directly from the printer.

@Brazzy, Welcome to HP Support Community!
If you already have the full-featured printer software installed, follow the steps below-
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.
Now, try scanning!
If you still have issues, refer to the document HP Printers - How to Scan (Windows) for help.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
