Product: HP Envy 4520
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I got my printer not to long ago and everything was working fine. I work off of a Surface Pro 3 so I don't have a disk drive. I purchased an external drive when I first got the Pro and it seemed to work when I installed all the software off the Installation Disc that came with the printer. However, I have been trying to use the scan feature recently but my printer simply goes into the "connecting" screen for 20 seconds then tells me that it has trouble connecting and to check if I have my scanning software installed correctly and configured it to my computer. How do I find out if I have said software and where do I get it if I don't?

Hi,

 

Thanks for the feedback.

 

The FULL feature software installation failed?  What's the error message?

 

Can you uninstall and reinstall the software following these steps:


1. Download and save the FULL feature software (do not install it online)
2. Uninstall the software in your computer
3. Install the FULL feature “Saved” software


Hope that helps!

 

Thanks.

That was the first thing I tried - didn't work. 😞 I have been able to print just fine since I first go the printer.

A video that shows Windows does not help me at all on a Mac.  Is it possible to do the remote scanning on a Mac?

And I have no idea what you mean by the FULL driver installation.  I only get one driver package and one firmware package.  The firmware package will not function.  Just sits & spins on "Device Discovery"
