hi there gurus! i have an hp envy 5055, that prints just fine (wirelessly), but it's not scanning. its says "problem connecting to scanner", that the computer can't be found. so do i need additional drivers for the scanner? does the device need to actually be connected via usb/cord in order to scan?
i have windows 10 (not sure about the 'bit' tho?) again, i have no issues printing! all help is greatly appreciated!

Hi @BFSAUN41,
