Can not initiate scan from panel of OfficeJet Pro6970 to Mac

[rhegyi]

Hello I installed a newer iMac running 10.15 Catalina,  that replaced an older iMac running 10.9 of the Mac OS.  Used to be able to select scan from the Printers front panel ( Office Jet Pro 6970)   When I try that now it says " No Computer found " Tired Wired and WiFi connections.   Downloaded HP EASY PRINT and HP Scan utility.  Deleted and re-added the printer from the system Prefs. It prints fine, and I can scan initiating it from the computer side but can not from the front panel of the printer.  Any suggestions?

Thanks

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Enabling Scan to computer using HP Utility may resolve the issue. Let's try these steps:

1.) On your Mac, click Finder, click Applications, click the Hewlett-Packard or HP folder, then double-click HP Utility. (If HP Utility is not available, download and install the printer essential software from here) 

2.) Under Scan Settings, click Scan to Computer, then make sure the Enable Scan to Computer check box is selected.

3.) Try to scan.

Let me know if this helps.
