Where would be the scans done from my OfficeJet Pro 6978 be in my new HP All-in-one Windows11 system

I have tried, with no joy or success, to find out where I might find the documents allegedly scanned on my OfficeJet.  I see from answer in the forum that they SHOULD be in the Documents directory, but they are not there.   I have tried to search the local disk and have not been able to find them.

Apparently, previous versions of HP Smart was able to change the target directory but I cannot see this setting.

How do I find the scans that were claimed to have been sent to my computer?  I have assumed they were PDF but also searched for JPG files, as well.

Thanks.

In trying to determine how to get the scanner to work before I replaced my computer, I ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor.  This detected the scan software was not available.  It then said to reinstall.  That would be great, but the HP Smart app must be loaded from the Windows Store and then just indicates that the app is already installed.

I did uninstall HP Smart and then did a new install, but this did not change the underlying software, nor did it affect the failure by the doctor.

It would have been nice to have some clue as to how to reinstall the software.  Any clues would be appreciated.

By the way, I did do a complete install of the software as step 2 or 3 of installing my nice new All-in-one Windows 11 system.
