HP Photosmart C4680 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I cannot scan using the "scan" button on my  HP Photosmart C4680 All-in-One printer and upload to PC. However, I can scan from using the Scan ap installed on  Windows PC.

Device Manager states the printer is offline and Scan Doctor and all the trouble shooting software cannot access the printer.

 

Drives were updated today and are current.

 

What can I do to resolve this?

@BlackCat212, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

 

I understand you are not able to scan from the printer control panel. This is possible only if you have a full-feature printer driver available. Which is, HP Solution Center for this model printer.

 

HP Solution Center is not available or supported anymore. Hence, this option will not work. You will have to scan from the computer screen.

 

If this does not help, I suggest you upgrade the printer. You may visit Hp Store to check the available printers.

 

Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.
