Please use  HP Scan Extended software to scan:


                https://ftp.hp.com/pub/scanners/HPScanExt/HPScanExt.msi


Once it's downloaded and installed, for Windows 10/11:


   (a) Hit Win key,
   (b) Scroll down to HP group/folder,
   (c) Double click "HP Scan Extended"


You can put a shortcut on Taskbar or Desktop


Regards.
