HP OfficeJet 4650 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 11

I've been having difficulty operating the Scanner portion of my HP OfficeJet 4650 All-in-One Printer.  It will print things OK but when I try to scan it keeps saying it's unable to connect to the scanner even after repeated installments.  This is extremely frustrating as I need to utilize a scanner for various activities.  Will I have to somehow accumulate funds to purchase a new all in one printer altogether?
