Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

Unknown printer

Many printers will not scan that many pages in one job to be combined into one output file.

Even if the printer includes an ADF (Automatic Document Feeder),

The stack page limit is generally around 30 pages (more or less).

How to find >>>

Information of this type is generally available in your printer's  Product Home  > Category Product Information > Topic Specifications > find and open the document

The next barrier is the printer memory -- scanning that many pages into a single file might stop part way through.

Scan specifications of this type might be included in the Specifications document.

You can also check in the printer's user manual:

Product Home  > Category Manuals > Find and open the User Guide

True - If the job suddenly fails, you might  -- or might not -- get a useful error message that explains what happened.

Scanning through a mobile application to an unknown printer using old Android software might -- or might not -- be supported in the way you imagine it.  Check all the tabs, sub-menus, and settings to see if and how to combine scanned pages into one document.

If your unknown printer can scan part of the job into a single file - do that.

Repeat the process until you have a set of documents (each document ="some" number of pages) that total the 60 pages.

The next step is to find an application that runs on your older version of Android that can combine the several documents into one, fat, 60 page document.

OR

Take your document to a professional printing service and have the task done for you.

For example, where I am located, FedEx provides printing and perhaps scanning services (at some offices, at least).

The service is not free, of course, but it's easy.

You can also access Notary services at FedEx, too.

"Stuff"

Well, maybe -- most of the information is general, of course.  Smiling.

Anything printing / scanning task done with a mobile device is almost entirely dependent on the quality of the application that you use to interact with the printer.  Print Applications vary - some of the mobile apps are not as powerful (feature packed) as their counterparts that run a PC, MacOS, or Linux machine.

If you don't have a FedEx nearby, ask around:  Community Center, one of the major Office Supply stores, even your local library might be able to help.

Good Luck.

If you are in a current rain or snow zone, stay dry and safe!
