I can’t get anyone to understand my issue. The SCAN option is not showing in the app. Only scan from camera. It’s been there before as I have scanned many multi page docs using batch. But I do t see it anymore. I even deleted and reloaded the app.

Hi @Litlfrogy,
In the new HP app, the Scan tile only shows the printer's scanner when the app sees the printer as connected; otherwise you only get "camera" scan.
Option 1 – Re-add the printer
- In the HP app, open the printer and remove/hide it from the home screen.
- Restart your phone/PC and the printer.
- Open the app > + (Add printer), select your printer and wait until it shows "Ready". Then the Scan > Scanner option should appear.
Option 2 – Update and check access
- Update the HP app from your app store, and allow Local Network and Bluetooth access for it in your phone settings.
- Make sure the printer and phone are on the same Wi-Fi.
If it still doesn't show, tell me your printer model and whether you use a phone or computer, so I can give you a direct alternative.
