Hi,

@Dave387, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

 

I understand you are not able to scan from the PC. Let us try these steps to resolve this issue:

  • Restart the router, the printer, and the PC 
  • Make sure the printer and the PC are connected to the same wireless network. Either 2.4 or 5GHz network.
  • If you have a Dual-band router and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same name/SSID, the printer will not be able to connect to the network. In this case, contact your Internet service provider to assign different names to both networks.

Are you using the HP Smart app to scan?

Check for updates or reinstall the app if the issue persists.

Thanks,

 

Can i plug the printer into the router and then still use it as a wireless printer and as a network computer?

@Dave387

 

No. It can either be connected wirelessly or using an ethernet cable. Not both. When you connect the ethernet cable, it will disable the wireless radio in the printer.

You may connect the printer wirelessly and connect a USB cable simultaneously.

 

I hope that answers your concern adequately. Let me know!
