Hello, 

 

My copying works, but the scanner does not. I have unplugged it, re-downloaded it, restarted everything, etc. It continues to tell me that there is an error when communicating with the scanner.

@JessicaBarnhart, Welcome to HP Support Community!

To be able to assist you better, I'd like to know the following-

  • What is the Operating System installed on the computer?
  • How is the printer connected to the computer?
  • Is there any antivirus/security software installed on the computer?

Keep me posted for further assistance.
