I use my HP 8620 primarily to scan large documents. It worked great on my old imac using HP Easy Scan. I got a new macbook pro and tried scanning with the same software. The documents scanned fine - every page appeared in the scan window. But when I saved the document, only the first page appeared as a scanned page - the remainder of the pages (it was the correct number of pages) were all blank. Following the instructions of another poster, I deleted all of my software, apps and printers and downloaded the drivers. The new version of scanning software does not include an OCR option. Please advise. Thanks!

- Open up the run command with the "Windows Key + R" key combo.
- Type printui.exe /s and click OK.
