Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Support Community.

 

What's the Printer model?

 

For scan to computer, the HP FULL solution software needs to be installed and then enable the "Scan to Computer" (printer

dependent)

 

Depending on how old the printer is, the HP FULL software solution can be found from the printers support page under "Software- Utility"

 

This example shows how to download the HP FULL software solution:

How to Scan to Computer

Once you have installed the software:

1. Click on the printer Icon (on your desktop) and it will bring up the HP Printer Assistant.
2. Under the Scan menu, there is a “Manage Scan to Computer”, click on that.
3. Make sure that you “Enable” Scan to Computer. Also make sure the tab “Automatically start Scan to Computer when I log on to Windows” is checked if you want to make this feature permanent. (the following video will show you how)
