HP ENVY Photo 7855 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I can scan to email, but cannot scan to my PC.  I get a message to visit 123.hp.com and install full software and drivers.  I did that, and was prompted to install HP Easy Start, which I did, which then took me to another page where it gave me options to install HP Easy Start again or install full software  I selected full software, but that only gave me the option to install a new printer.  I went through it, and it did recognize my printer, (HP doctor was worthless, it couldn't find my printer, which was connected to my network).  However, when I clicked on download, nothing happened.  It stayed on the screen showing only the Easy Start download.  The Full Softward download was not in my downloaded items.  I did turn off my VPN.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
