@Terry301, Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

If your HP OfficeJet Mobile 250 printer does not show the scanning option on the desktop icon, you might need to ensure that the HP printer software, which includes scan functionality, is properly installed on your computer. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help resolve this issue:

Verify Software Installation:

• Ensure that you have installed the full-feature HP printer software on your computer. If not, visit HP Customer Support and search for the latest software and drivers for your printer model.

Download HP Easy Start:

• Go to 123.hp.com/setup to download HP Easy Start.
• Select the Full Software and Drivers to ensure complete functionality, including scanning.

Install the Software:

• Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.

Check Scanning Functionality:

• Once the software is installed, locate the HP Printer Assistant or HP Smart app, which should provide you with functionalities like "Scan a Document or Photo."

Enable Scan to Computer:

• If you still cannot find the scanning option, ensure that the "Scan to Computer" feature is enabled. You can usually find this option within the HP Printer Assistant under the Scan section by selecting "Manage Scan to Computer" and clicking "Enable."

Checking Connections:

• Ensure that your printer is properly connected to your computer via Wi-Fi or a USB cable, and both devices are on.

I hope this helps.
