Starting to genuienly hate HP, cant even talk to a human.

 

Stupid thing wont scan.  Printing fine, connected to HP smart.  Mini screen asks for further software when you push the scan button and yet will scan from mobile devices with no problem.

 

Have enabled webscan on the IP address.

 

any help gratefully received, before I throw the thing in the bin and vow to never buy HP again.
