How do I enable scan to email on my new 7900e printer Home Screen ?

[Magoo288]

On my Home Screen, when I press scan, it only offers scan to computer.

[digitalgeorge]

This does not answer the question. Why is there not a simple answer to enabling the scan to email feature?

This printer series supports Scan and (then) Share to Email using the HP Smart application.

Open user manual for:

HP ENVY Inspire 7200e series
HP ENVY Inspire 7900e series

>>> User Guide

Read Pages 6 and 35

The "scan and share" options work via HP Smart App for Windows (or MacOS) and HP Smart Mobile, too.

When using HP Smart - Windows - before you use the Share feature, add the sender's email address to Windows Mail.

Example - HP Smart - Windows - Scan Document > Share

What else?

The full driver printer software supports Scan to Email using HP Scan.

To use this method, it is necessary that you have an email client (for example, Outlook / Thunderbird) installed  on the computer.

Ask if you need help to install the full driver printer software.
