I have purchased an ENVY5032 printer. I can not set up scanning on my notebook, the icon appears on the desktop but when trying to open it say it can not find HP Envy5000?

The basics here:

How to Scan (Windows)

 

Use the Doctor to troubleshoot print and scan issues.

The Doctor is available on your printer Website Support page

and here:

HP Print and Scan Doctor for Windows

 

and / or

 

If you have not done so, download and install the Full Feature Software for the printer.

HP ENVY 5000 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver

Click "View all" button to see Windows versions supported (Windows 8.1 is included in the list).

 

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in.

 

Once the software is installed, the HP Printer Assistant shortcut icon should display on the Desktop.

 

General Example:

Printer_Assistant_Shortcut_Icon_on_DesktopPrinter_Assistant_Shortcut_Icon_on_Desktop

 

 

Print, Scan, and Fax (if supported) operations are included in the HP Assistant

 

General Example:

Printer_Assistant_8740_1Printer_Assistant_8740_1

 

 

And...

HP Scan and Capture

Windows Store - Requires Windows 8 or higher

 

General Example

Scan_and_Capture_PreferencesScan_and_Capture_Preferences
