how to scan

Randy1111 · ‎01-05-2022

I have used my HP LaserJet 1536 happily for many years, including scanning.

Recently when I tried to scan some papers using the HP Scan icon I have used to many years, it said that series Scan was not found. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. It then worked fine... that time.

Now a few days later, I want to scan and it gave me the same error message.

How to fix it?

Many thanks, Randy in Atlanta

Hi Randy,

The printer is not compatible with Windows 11 and no software is offered for such an older model:

It may work but not designed or intended to work on the operating system.

You may try the Microsoft Scan app and check if it may work with your printer:

Another option may worth trying would be the 3rd party Vuescan software and see if it may work with your scanner:

Hope that may help,
