Unable to initialize the scan program.

[LinNemo]

I have an HP Color Laser Jet Pro MFP 278-M28.  Recently, the fax feature seemed to have been "disconnected", so I reloaded my printer from my program CD.  In doing so, i had issues whether or not i could print from my phone using Wi-Fi Direct or Network WiFi.  In the end, i set it up Network Wi-Fi.  Can't print from my phone, but that's OK, I can print from my iPad.

Now, I'm trying to open the Scan program and NOTHING happens when I double-click on the icon.  The HP Print and Scan Doctor has not helped and if I reload the printer program. nothing is available for "San Setup."

Any insight/help is greatly appreciated.
