Printer prints but scanner doesn't work after some upgrade. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled the HP drivers and related files but still doesn't work.
Thanks.

Welcome to HP Forums,
This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,
Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂
As I understand, your printer does not scan,
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:
When was the last time it worked fine?
Were there any hardware/software changes made?
Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?
Are you able to make a photocopy?
Does that Scanner bulb light up?
Does the scanner bar move when you open the lid & press the copy button?
If the photocopy works fine, I would suggest you try these steps to resolve the issue:
Download and run HP Print and Scan Doctor: Follow steps from the link: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03286146
Root level uninstall and reinstall printer drivers:
- Go to Control panel – Programs and feature – Select all the HP Ink Tank printer entries and uninstall them.
- Now go to Control panel – Devices and printer – Select all the printer entries and remove the device.
- Then press the "windows key" + "r" to get the "Run" window open - Type "printui.exe /s" and press enter.
- Under print server properties, go to drivers - remove any entry there as well.
- Again, go to run window, type – “c:/programdata” – Go to Hewlett Packard folder, remove any printer related folders & files.

Let me know how this goes,
Cheers!
