When using HP Scan to scan from a computer to the flatbed, we now received the following message from HP Scan;
"Go to the scanner front panel to select and to complete your scan." The issue started after an update from Windows 10.
- There is nothing on the printer that shows how to proceed with the scan.
- The latest drivers, firmware have been installed.
We have worked with no less than 5 techs from HP support, who have advised restarting the devices, re-installing drivers/software, and that it is a Microsoft issue. They have all refused to escalate the issue.
Perhaps someone from the community has a solution.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Being that no responses were provided here and the issue persists, I ventured another attempt with HP Support on the matter today.
- My first conversation w/ business technical support specialist on the M776 put me on hold to research the issue. After 49 minutes and unannounced, there was a ringing noise which turned out to be a transfer someone else who didn't speak English.
- I called back, and this time the individual (Winston) assured me they were "technical support", but informed me this model is a printer and not a scanner. This individual became rude when I assured him it is also a scanner. He refused to transfer me to a supervisor, stating he was working from home and its not an option.
- I called back again, the individual quickly identified there's a setting in the lower left part of the software that says, "Job Reservation" that needs to be disabled.
I hope this solution will spare others the unpleasantries of 7 conversations w/ HP Tech support.
