@lorra2, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

 

I see that you are not able to scan. Are you using the HP Smart app to scan?

Do you get any errors?

Try making a standalone copy from the flatbed glass and check if that works. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.

 

Run HP Print and Scan Doctor to diagnose and fix any driver issue

Click here to download the file. Once downloaded, make sure to run the file to start the installation and click on 'Fix scanning'.

 

Alternatively, use HP Scan and Capture app: Use this free app available from the Microsoft Store to scan photos or documents.

Go to Installing and Using HP Scan and Capture (Windows 10) for more information.

 

Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.
