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!
