HP Photosmart 5524
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I've recently discovered the "scan to computer" function of my HP Photosmart 5524 but when I use it to scan documents directly to my laptop (Acer 7551G), despite extensive searches I can't find them. Any idea where they would be saved?

 

Ta muchly 🙂

Did you click Save ? Normally it should save to My Documents (or Documents) by default.

Hi, I'm using the mini-screen on the Photosmart. A message comes up that the scan has been saved but it doesn't say 'where'.

HP Recommended

If you are using the 'mini-screen' on the printer it should be going to your 'documents' or 'my documents' by default.
