Help with Windows 10 drivers? Incompatibility issue?

[Miguel_ATW]

Hello, I'd to get some help concerning an issue with my HP Deskjet 3051a J611 printer.

I've always been able to scan correctly using my printer, up until I installed the update for Windows 10.

I use a Sony VAIO Fit laptop computer (May of 2013 model) that originally came with Windows 8.1 Pro installed.

After I installed Windows 10 and I tried to use my scanner two weeks later (it prints just fine), I can't seem to use the same program I was using before Windows 10 to use my scanner. I tried using the HP Print and Scan Doctor to troubleshoot my problem, and it told me that my printer had an unknown driver error that it couldn't fix. I also tried resetting my laptop (and power cycling the printer), and uninstalling and reinstalling the driver for my printer.

One thing to note: I use my printer using both wireless and wired (through USB), wired for the scanner, and wireless for the printer.

I normally use the printer function when I want things done fast, using an app on my Android phone, or otherwise, using my laptop (wirelessly, of course). But when it comes to using the scanner, I find that it works much faster to use it through USB on my laptop than through Wi-Fi.

Thank you for your help (to whoever replies).

Sincerely,

~Miguel G

Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Forums.

Can you try this Uninstaller from Microsoft and then reinstall the FULL feature software again?

Please download and install the FULL feature printer software from HP for your operating system (Win 10):

Once you have downloaded and installed the FULL feature software, you will be able to print and scan.

Hope that helps.
