HP Scan app

[NavionAmI]

I have a client with Office 2016 and Incredimail on her computer. Incredimail is deprecated and no longer used. Outlook 2016 is set as the default Email program. For a while, HP Scan will 'scan to email' and use Outlook, but after a bit it drops back to Incredimail. There's no way I've found, short of uninstalling and re-installing HP Scan to get the situation resolved. Looked for UDs to Outlook/Office and Win 10 generally (it's Pro 64) but everything is up to date (DISM, SFC come up clean) and of course there doesn't seem to be a way to force HP Scan to select one mail program over another. Anyone have any ideas?

Welcome to the HP Community.

Be Aware:

Do not respond to individuals who post phone numbers or email addresses.

Do not respond to individuals who ask you to provide private information in a public Post.

These people might be scammers trying to steal your information / money.

====================================================================

I can give you a couple of places to look / check.

Start...

Check to ensure offending email is not infiltrating the Scan to Email setup in the Embedded Web Server (EWS).

This is not likely - it takes only a couple of minutes to check...

Open your favorite browser > type / enter Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Tab Scan > Scan to Email >  Settings / Scan to Email Setup

Example - OfficeJet 8740 - EWS - Scan to Email

Setup / Profile(s) - Adding / Testing / Editing

EWS_8740_Scan-to-Email_Setup_7C

Newer Model OfficeJet 9025 - very similar - includes the address book setup for this model

EWS_9020_Scan-to-Email_Setup_2

=======================================================================

If the Incredimail software is still installed on the computer as a Mail client, it might sneak back in.

Check both Programs and Features and Settings > Apps > Apps and Features to make sure the Incredimail client / software is not lurking somewhere.  If you find it, uninstall > Restart the computer and log in

Next...

Settings > Apps > Default Apps

Scroll through the list of apps

Set the main Mail client as Windows Mail

In general, this won't impact the installation or operation of Outlook plus the setting means you (customer) to use HP Smart to Scan-to-Email as long as the preferred "sending" mail address (somebody @ FancyMail.com) has been added to Windows Mail.

=======================================================================

HP Scan Example > Email as PDF > More > Destination > Mail clients

Open HP Scan

Select Email as PDF (or JPEG)

Change at least one of the options in the main menu or in one of the sub-menus

Select More > Destination

Make sure the client is Outlook

Optional >  Add "Save a local copy"

Check other Settings (Scan / Image / Document)

Click OK if any changes are made in a sub-menu

Return to Main menu (< Less )

Save-As to create a custom shortcut

9025_HP_Scan_PDF_to_Email_1

Will this work?

Maybe - it has potential to at least eliminate some of the places where the setup can fail.
