HP Color Laserjet Pro MFP 43e01dw
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a new HP Color Laserjet Pro MFP 43e01dw purchased for a customer and trying to install it on their computer running Windows 10 Pro. It installs and detects the printer part of the installation fine but when it comes to installing the scanner, even though it knows the printer, it cannot communicate with the scanner part of it. I have tried installing using USB and Wired Network and neither sees the scanner. I have completely removed all installed instances and driver files and tried again with the same issue. On one attempt it was able to see the scanner but when testing the scanner, the output was a slanted garbled attempt as if the output is not synchronized with the scan head. On another occasion it installed the scanner as a MP481 and was able to scan properly using the flatbed but not the document feeder. I suspect this was due to an automatic Windows Update of the scanner drivers. All of my attempts to install the MFP using the proper install process has resulted in not being able to operate the scanner but the printer works perfectly.
