We would like to share some of the most frequently asked questions about HP Solution Center not working : Adobe Flash Player Error and Unable to Scan.

Envy 7640
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Scan to email stopped working. It was always working with no issues before. Error message on the screen: "The printer could not connect to Web Services. The server might be busy or temporarily unavailable. Try again later." I have restarted both the printer and my PC. Disconnect and connect wireless. I run doctor exe, it told me to scan from the pc, it did a scan but it couldn't find the email.  How do I find/connect to my email again? Don't know what to do next.

@MsDaxG, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

I understand you are not able to scan to email and web services are not working on the printer.

 

Restart web services:

Click here to know how to turn off web services. Refer to this document to know how to turn it on.

 

Kindly perform the steps mentioned in this document - Cannot Connect to Web Services

 

To access the EWS page of the printer,

  • Obtain the IP address of the printer – You can touch the “wireless” icon on the printer control panel to obtain the IP address.
  • Type the IP address at the top of your web browser to obtain the printer EWS page on your computer.
  • If you get any security notification, click on show details/advanced and 'proceed to this website'.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
