General Information

As long as your printer is not one or both of:

• HP+ enabled - HP+ requires an Internet connection
• Instant Ink subscription - Instant Ink requires a Web Services (Internet) connection, at least part of the time.

(then)

Generally supported in models in this series

You do need a connection to download and install the application and / or the printer software:

HP Smart /  Windows applications from the Microsoft Store

Full Driver printer software >>  Printer Home Page > Category Software and Drivers

Printer Connection

Connect your printer directly to your computer using a direct "ad hoc" wireless connection:  Wireless Direct / Wi-Fi Direct. 

Reference:  HP Printers - Printing with Wi-Fi Direct

What else?

With a Wi-Fi Direct connection between printer and computer

Possibly...

Windows Scan – Microsoft Store (formally Windows Store) - Requires Windows 8 or higher

• “Get” the application from the Store >  Windows Scan

Webscan – located in the Embedded Web Server (EWS) – No additional software

This option requires a network connection and EWS

EWS > HP Document / How-to - Important information

Use the HP printer Embedded Web Server (EWS)

Paint (mspaint)

Older software – not brilliant – does work for scanning images.

• Optional >> Expand the “white background” area to a size to accommodate your data.  If unknown, try 1300x1300
