Scanning front and back of a document to one page using HP C4780 in Windows 11

[MzMc]

This was not a problem before I updated to Windows 11.  There is no option to 'continue scan' which had allowed you to scan/copy a 2 page document to 1 page.  Any ideas??

Welcome to the HP Community --

Old driver is Gone

We see occasional questions about printers for which full driver software installation packages are no longer listed for current (or older) versions of Windows.

The full driver printer software for this printer is no longer listed as available from HP.

When available for the printer and a supported version of Windows, install the Windows built-in print drivers.

What else?

Single Version Jump

Sometimes the leap from "Windows 10" to "Windows 11" means even the Windows Built-in print driver is no longer available.

In this case - for this printer - the change to Windows 11 does (still) appear to support installing the Windows Built-in driver to provide basic print function as it did in the previous Windows version.

Reference

Operating System = Windows / Windows 11

===================================================

When installed, the Windows print driver provides basic print function.

In general, it follows, that if the built-in driver is installed, the apps that use that driver would also function as they did previously.

Reference here:

 HP Printers - Installing and Using the Windows Built-in Print Driver

Scan? See Section FAQ > How do I use the printer functions with the built-in driver?

Scan your documents and photos:

Complete your scan jobs with a Windows app that works with the built-in driver.

Examples

Windows Fax and Scan: In Windows, search for and open Windows Fax and Scan. Click New Scan, and then select your printer.

Windows Paint: In Windows, search for and open Paint. Click FileFrom scanner or camera.

Windows Scan app: In Windows, search for and open the Windows Scan app. If it is not listed, go to Windows  Scan (in English) to install it.
