Common problems HP Solution Center not working : Adobe Flash Player Error and Unable to scan
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.

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301fdw

Why does this printer not Scan direct from the printer to my computer without having to use the "Web Scan Server" - I can initiate a scan from the Smart software scan feature on the computer and save it to a specific folder but I can not initiate a scan from the control panel on the printer itself to scan to a folder on my computer without jumping through all these other hoops to get a simple process completed. I just want to select the "Scan to computer" function on the printer and have it saved to a predetermined "Scan" folder on my computer - how do I make this happen with this Printer?

Did you install on a computer full printing and scanning software?
