Hello @Francesco881 ,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

The HP software must be completely uninstalled and removed of the system.

First download only this complete package: " HP ENVY Photo 6200 All-in-One Print and Scan Driver and Accessories",

1) File name: Full_Webpack-44.11.2778-EN6200_Full_Webpack.exe (135.5 MB)

 

Then proceed as follows:

Check the system for

  • TuneUp`s
  • Optimization Tools
  • Cleanup Tools

disable them, better uninstall them. Next...

  1. Disconnect printer/scanner from computer- Disable WLAN, WiFi and/or remove the USB or LAN cable.- Do not switch off the printer >> unplug the power cord from the socket!
  2. right-click Start, search for "control panel" and open "Programs and Features"
    uninstall all HP printer software > via "Programs and Features"
  3. right-click Start, search for "control panel" and open "Devices and Printers"
    In the "Devices and Printers" window look for your HP Printer. If you see it listed, right-click on it and choose "Delete" or "Remove Device.”
  4. Restart the PC
  5. Close all programs

  15. The installation was completed successfully, now you must ...
  16. Restart the PC again
  17. Now the installation is complete.

Via USB, means wait until the installation asks to connect the printer/scanner.

Document error messages accurately, even better is to take a screenshot of it and upload here.

Important information:

    Change back the File Explorer settings -
    • enable > Don`t show hidden files, folders or drives
