Hello,
after the last HP SW Updates scanner can not used, no communication.
Printing is available, ping reaches the printer in the home network, a network scan shoes all open ports.
But calling scan shows no communication available.
Scan Doctor does not finish. Stopping the defender firewall does not help.
Does anybody has a solution/bypass?

Hello,
after installing Windows patch day 14.12.2021 fixes, calling HPScan.exe was successful.
Nothing happens, if I call HPScanDoctor.
Second try, called as Admin, HPScanDoctor works.
Best regards,
Herwig
