I just purchased the HP8720, and I'm trying to set up the scanning parameters for the printer.
I would like to set things up so that I can put the document to be scanned on the printer and push the scan button and have it saved directly to my laptop that is connected to the same wireless network.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I believe we can enable Scan to computer using HP Utility. Here is how to do it:
1.) On your Mac, click Finder, click Applications, click the Hewlett-Packard or HP folder, then double-click HP Utility. (If HP Utility is not available, download and install the install the printer essential software from here)
2.) Under Scan Settings, click Scan to Computer, then make sure the Enable Scan to Computer check box is selected.

3.) Try to scan.
Let me know how it goes!
