HP ENVY 5660 e-All-in-One Printer

My printer works, however when I try to scan it using the online tool is just keeps making noise and not scanning.

Is the noise possibly coming from the ADF?

Are errors displayed?

No the noise is coming from the scanner like its scanning but it just keeps doing nothing. I can scan it manually by using the buttons on the printer itself but the online tool is the problem. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it keeps doin the same thing.

HP Recommended

Which operating system is used?

 

The scanner has 2 options from where a document can be scanned:
1. Flatbed or
2. ADF

Are you sure you have selected the correct source?
You are using HP Smart, here is a link: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_2275901-2074064-16

on how to scan with HP Smart.

What is shown on the display when the scan is started with HP Smart?
