Product: HP Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP M480f
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hi

I hope some of you can help me with this problem:

 

I have bought a M480f Printer, unfortunately I wasn’t aware that that the one I bought was without a Wi-Fi modem.

Now I have set up the printer, and it is on the Wi-Fi, but I can't seem to get the printer to scan using the HP-Smart app.

 

I have tried removing the printer from HP-Smart app, but without luck.

I have also tried removing the HP-Smart app, but also without any luck.

I have also tried Scan-Mail, but I don’t have any SMTP server.

 

Do I need to set up anything in the printer settings?
Usually, it just seems to work out of the box.

It is not clear how it is connected

 

If you can print then you have the basic printer drivers but need the full feature software to do the scan

 

full feature windows from here

 

download and install this 

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/printers/SJ0001/MFPs/Full_Webpack-51.10.6100-SJ0001_Full_W...

 

After installing the full feature driver package, click the windows key and select all apps and find HP.

Look for HP Scan.

If HP scan is not present then use HP Smart.
get HP Smart from the microsoft store if needed or if you want the newest version. You will have to sign into HP Smart using your HP account. The latest version as of Jun, 2024 is 154.1.1072.0 (USA English). If you do not have this version then go to the Microsoft store, find HP Smart, and click "update". If the button "update" is missing then you need to run "wsreset" from the Windows search bar.

To put HP Smart (or HP Scan) on the desktop:

For Windows 10, click Start. For Windows 11, click Start and click All apps This will show (see above) a list of all apps you have installed in Windows. Find the target app from the list, drag and pull the app from the Start menu to the desktop. This will create a desktop shortcut for the app installed from Microsoft Store.

 

You may need to reset the printer: video here
Device is Ethernet or USB only

OCR and other software can be found here
Printer Reference m480f
