Scan without using HP Smart Cloud Services

[Platts]

Is there any scanning software I can use with an HP 9020 series All-in-One printer that does not require signing on HP Cloud Services?  Needing to use HP Cloud Services feels like an invasion of privacy.

Update - Add Scan software / application examples

Any cloud service, including those available using HP Smart, requires at least signing into that Cloud Storage service.

True - HP Smart requires that you sign into the application using your HP Account credentials.

Yes, you can Print and Scan without using HP Smart.

Install the Full Feature Software -- and use HP Scan (part of the software).
