Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

According to the application "how-to", HP Scan and Capture depends on the full driver printer software having been installed for the printer.

 

Uninstall / Reinstall your Full Feature Software / full driver printer software.

 

What else?

If the full driver printer software is already reinstalled,

You can also try a Reset on the HP Scan and Capture application.

 

Beyond that, try uninstalling HP Scan and Capture > Restart the computer and log in > "Get" a new copy of the HP Scan and Capture app.
