Scan to Email - Webservices failure

[Guppal2]

I am unable to scan to email. When I hit scan and then select email, I get this message - 

" The printer could not connect to web services. The server might be busy or temporarily unavailable. Try again later."

I have tried the following - 

1) picked the IP from the printer and logged on to the IP address through a web browser. Disabled and enable web services.

2) I have reinstalled the printer software and tried that option as well.

3) I have also downloaded the scan doctor, and that does tell me that there is a scanning issue. A firmware update is available. the scan doctor then comes up with a firmware upgrade, but I can not hit the update button. Poor software. and it is not available for macOS.

4) I have also disabled the web services from the printer display option and enable it again. But to no avail.

can someone please help.

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Restart the computer, printer, and router.

4. Press the power button or reconnect the power cord to the router, and then wait for the Internet activity light to display a normal connected status.

I am trying to scan to a tablet & phone.  Do I need to turn both off?
