Hi@Sweet62,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! I'd like to help!

 

I see you are experiencing scanning issues with the HP Officejet 4500 Wireless All-In-One Printer.  

 

The printer detects the name of the computers. The name change has to be done on the computer.

  1. Open Settings and go to System > About(at the bottom).
  2. In the About menu, you should see the name of your computer next to PC name and a button that says Rename PC. Click this button.
  3. Type the new name for your computer. You can use letters, numbers, and hyphens -- no spaces. Then click Next.
  4. Restart the PC to check the change. 

I have a few recommendations 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
