Hi@Terrera1,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! I'd like to help!

 

I see you are experiencing issues with the HP Printer not allowing to scan to laptop. 

 

Open the HP Print and Scan Troubleshooter

Make sure the printer is on and connected with desktop or laptop. Click HP Print and Scan Doctor on the HP Customer Support page to download the troubleshooter. Click HPPSdr.exe to open the software's window. Click Start and select the printer that doesn't scan.

 

Go to HP Envy 4527 Scan App screen, click Scan. Then, choose camera and click OK. Choose the source window. It will open with a view from the webcam.

 

Turn off your printer and wait for about 10 seconds and unplug the power cord from the printer. Now switch off the computer that you are using for 10 seconds. Then, Plug the power cord back to the printer and turn on your printer device.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
