Which button do I need to push on my HP ENVY 6055 printer to scan?

[Darcan01]

Which button do I need to push on my HP ENVY 6055 printer to scan while I stand there? There are two buttons and both of them just copy. I can only scan using my HP Smart application on my laptop. I want to be able to scan when I am right there beside my printer. Please help.

Thanks.

It is not possible, there is no scan button. You can only scan using the HP Smart app or software on a computer.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

Printers that lack a true text-capable Printer Control Panel support limited options "from the printer".

User Guide

Page 68

There is no "workaround" -- if the "at the printer" options do not include scan, you must use the software and applications to scan

HP Smart -- Windows, MacOS, and supported Mobile devices - supports Print and Scan operations for PDF and Photos / images

The Full Feature Software -- when installed on the computer -- includes the HP Scan software.

Webscan -- mentioned in the user manual -- is supported using the Embedded Web Server (EWS).

Examples

Example - HP Smart - Windows - HP Smart - menu

HP_Smart_Win_Main_Menu_4

Example - HP Scan - Menu > More > Destination

9025_HP_Scan_Menu_PDF_More_Destination_8

Example - EWS - Webscan

First Time Use Only:  Enable Webscan

• Open your favorite browser > type / enter Printer IP address into URL / Address bar
• Tab Settings > Security > Administrator Settings > Enable >> Check box next to Webscan
• Click Apply to save any changes

Open your favorite browser > type / enter Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Tab Scan > Webscan

Printer - Full Feature Software - Install

If you have not done so, consider

• HP Full Feature Software / Full Driver printer software - supports printing and scanning from the web, printing in in other software and programs (for example, Word), and provides access to the full range of Printing Preferences / Shortcuts.  The full driver adds at least two shortcuts to the Desktop:  Printer Assistant and HP Scan.  If the printer model includes built-in Fax hardware, the software supports the setup and use of the Fax driver.  No Sign-in required.

If the full driver printer software is (already) installed but not working,

• Uninstall any printer software from Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features
• Restart the computer and sign in.

Next,

• Check (for the Printer) in Devices and Printers  > If found, Right-Click Printer and Remove -- If any changes are made, that is, you remove anything, Restart the computer and sign in.

Next,

• If using a printer USB cable between the printer and the computer, disconnect the cable before installing the printer software.

• Download and Save the Full Feature Software installation package or the Easy Start Software

Details Page - Driver - For your Printer

>>> Full Feature Software - Web Pack Installation Package - Information and Download <<<

HP Easy Start Printer Setup Software – Offline Use Only 

Installation

• Open File Explorer
• Navigate to the folder in which you saved the installation file  (likely Downloads)
• Right-Click on the installation package and “Run as Administrator”
• If using a printer USB cable between the printer and the computer, connect the cable when instructed (near the end of the installation).
• After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in

Next,

Optional - Supported on your printer

• HP Universal Scan Software - Model Dependent >> HP Universal Scan Full Feature Software adds OCR libraries to installed HP Scan software.  HPUS installs a new, full featured, (and separate) HP Scan software shortcut to the Desktop. Note:  Where supported, HPUS can be installed as standalone or installed after the full feature printer software.

====================================

The installation of the full driver adds at least two shortcuts to the Desktop:  

Printer Assistant 

HP Scan
