Hi @TOURINHO72,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

If your HP printer’s scanner isn’t working, here are the most accurate troubleshooting steps:

1. Check HP Smart App or Scanning Software


2. Restart Printer and Computer

  • Power off the printer and unplug it for 60 seconds.
  • Restart your computer and reconnect the printer.


3. Update Drivers

  • Go to HP’s official page for your printer model: 👉 Official HP® Support
  • Download the Full Feature Software and Drivers (includes scanning tools).


4. Check Connection

  • If using a USB, ensure the cable is secure.
  • If using Wi-Fi, confirm the printer and PC are on the same network.


5. For macOS

  • Use Image Capture or the HP app.
  • Ensure the printer is added under Printers & Scanners in System Settings.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have an amazing day!
