HPEnvy Photo 7855 will not scan to email

[Drakonim]

My scan to email function worked just fine ever since I got the printer. Today, it suddenly stopped working.  I havetried rebooting the printer, reinstalling web services, checking for firmware updates, and trying different wireless networks. I can not get the scanner to scan to email.  It will however wirelessly scan to my desktop so I know it is not a network issue.

In my experience I have found that if you scan to a file then attach that file to your email, that will work as a work around if your in a pinch.  What program are you using to scan your document to your email or computer?

Hi there,

The scan to computer and then email trick is what I went with last night as a work around.

To answer your question, I am not using any program to scan to email. I have simply been using the "scan to email" button on the printer itself. It then asks to verify recipients, and usually will scan and send.  It fails prior to even attempting the physical scan. This happens whether I use the document feeder tray or the glass.

@Drakonim Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that you are unable to perform the scan to email.

Before you can scan to email, you must configure your email with a local email client, such as the Windows Mail app, Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, or Windows Live Mail. If you already have a local client configured on your computer or do not want to scan to email, skip to the next step. 

• Windows Mail app is pre-installed on all Windows 10 computers. Search Windows for mail, open the app, and then add your email address. If you are using Windows 8, go to How to set up email account in the Mail app in Windows 8.1 (in English). 

• Microsoft Outlook is available for purchase at the Microsoft Store (in English), either individually or as part of the Microsoft Office Suite. Go to How to set up an Internet email account in Outlook 2013 or 2016 (in English) for instructions to add your email. 

• Mozilla Thunderbird is available for download at Mozilla Thunderbird (in English). Follow the on-screen prompts to install Thunderbird and add your email. 

• Windows Live Mail is no longer available to download but still works if you already have it. Make sure the email you want to scan to is added to Live Mail.

8.) If you are using Google™ Gmail for email service, select the Always use secure connection (SSL/TLS) check box.
