Microsoft Windows 11

I am need to scan ASAP 2 sided documents, I look at the forums and see I probably need to install full software.  I see the links in the answers, but get error 500.

 

So I went on the HP home page and looked it up and downloaded the HPEasyStart_17_2_17.exe

 

I installed it, but when the installer came to install the software, it brought back a 500 error.

 

Can anyone help ?

 

Thank you

Welcome to the HP Community --

 

The full driver is available.

Easy Start is excellent or can be problematic --

For this older printer, perhaps best to avoid "Easy" if possible.

 

For reference: 

Your printer supports the "Printer Assistant" container / shortcut.

 

HP Document - How to Scan

 HP Printers - How to Scan (Windows, Mac, Mobile) | HP® Customer Support

 

===============================

Web Pack Installation - Web Page - Full Driver Printer Software

HP OfficeJet 4650 series Print and Scan Driver and Accessories 

 

Download, Save, and Install.

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

 

=========================

               Installed Software

Containers, Shortcuts on the Desktop

            What about HP Scan?

 

Once installed, the full driver printer software will have added one of two "container" shortcuts on the Desktop:

  • Printer Assistant - named for the printer model

OR

On newer printers and when the new full driver printer software no longer supports the Printer Assistant:

  • Scan Assistant - named for itself

Printer_Assistant_Scan_Assistant_Shortcut_Icons_on_Desktop_11Printer_Assistant_Scan_Assistant_Shortcut_Icons_on_Desktop_11

 

Next,

 

The full driver printer software, once installed, will have added a shortcut icon for HP Scan

 

The shortcut for HP Scan that is part of the full driver might be named for the printer model.

 

Separately --

For models that support the feature AND when installed --

Installation of the HP Universal Scan Software adds an "HP Scan" self-named shortcut icon to the Desktop.

 

Example - HP Scan - Original format - Main menu / More > Destination
