Hi @TulsaJon,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

To resolve the difficulty you are experiencing while trying to link your HP 2700 printer/scanner with your Lenovo laptop, follow these steps:
 

Ensure the Printer is Properly Set Up:
 

• Make sure the HP 2700 printer is properly connected to a power source and switched on.
   
• Ensure all protective tapes and stickers are removed from the printer.

Install HP Printer Software:
 

• Visit the HP Customer Support page to download the latest printer driver and software specific to the HP 2700 series.
   
• Enter your printer model and follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the recommended software.

Connect the Printer to Wi-Fi:
 

• On the printer, press the Wireless button to ensure it's turned on. It should start blinking.
   
• Use the HP app HP App – For HP Printers, Laptops, and Tech Accessories | HP® Official Site) to connect your printer to your wireless network. Follow the instructions in the app to ensure the printer is connected.

Add Printer on Lenovo Laptop:
 

• Open "Settings" on your Lenovo laptop, select "Devices," then "Printers & scanners."
   
• Click "Add a printer or scanner" and let your laptop search for available devices.
   
• Select your HP 2700 printer from the list and click "Add device."

Test Printing and Scanning:
 

• Once the printer is added, try printing a test page to confirm that printing is set up correctly.
   
• For scanning, use the HP app or Windows Fax and Scan. Make sure your printer is selected and attempt to scan a document.

Troubleshooting:
 

• If scanning is still not working, ensure that your printer is selected as the default scanner in the scanning software.
   
• Restart both your printer and laptop, and try disconnecting and reconnecting the Wi-Fi connection.
  
  I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
