Welcome to the HP Community --

 

HP Smart is not the right tool for this job.

 

The "Scan to Computer" feature is installed as part of the Full Feature Software.

 

Relevant to Windows

 

If the full driver printer software is installed but not working,

Completely uninstall the printer software from the computer - Programs and Features

Restart the computer and sign in.

Next,

Download/ Save / Install a fresh copy of the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software

Restart the computer and sign in.

====================================

Next,

 

The installation of the full driver adds at least two shortcuts to the Desktop:  

Printer Assistant 

HP Scan

 

Next,

Open the Printer Assistant > tab Scan Manage Scan to Computer Enable

 

 

Example - Windows - Full Feature Software - Installed in Programs and Features
