HP Deskjet 2510 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 11

HP deskjet All in one 2510 Scanner does not work anymore after installing windows11. When i try to scan , i have the message "HP Deskjet 2510 not present" (see image with french error message)HP deskjet2510 error message.jpg Then I tried to solve by installing HP doctor.  With the version 5.6.3, i succeed to make it works but after a reboot of the computer i have again the scanner problem and you need to execute again HP doctor. 

But now , since the last version of HP doctor 5.6.4 (last version), it is impossible to solve problem because HP doctor 5.6.4 does not work anymore with windows11. When i click on HPPSdr.exe file, a message ask if i authorize to make some modification to computer. I click YES and then nothing happens...

Could HP SUPPORT provide working Pilot file for HP Deskjet 2510 scanner with windows 11 ?

Welcome to the HP User Community.

 

We cannot do anything about the Doctor - the new version is likely working as designed - and, if it is not working as it ought, we cannot "fix" the doctor.

 

That said, you perhaps do not need the doctor to fix the issue.

 

Your printer Full Feature Software / full driver printer software installation package includes Windows 11 in the lists of supported versions of Windows.

 

Try / Consider

If you have not done so,

If you are convinced you are doing everything correctly,

Restart everything, including the router that controls the network

Check for any difference in behavior.

This likely won't change the outcome but it is a good "first step".
