HP Deskjet 2130 - Unable to Scan in Windows 11

[scootykecil]

After installing Windows 11 on my computer, I can still print, but am not able to scan. The Printer is recognised but the scanner appears haphazardly.  Any ideas?

Welcome to the HP support community.

I understand that you are unable to scan, I am glad to assist you.

This seems to be a driver issue, follow these steps to fix the issue.

Perform root level uninstallation to remove all the printer related software's.

• In Windows, search for and open Programs and Features.
• Select your HP printer.

• Open up the run command with the "Windows Key + R" key combo.
• Type printui.exe /s and click OK.
• Click on Drivers tab.
• Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it click on it and click Remove at the bottom.
