I understand how frustrating it can be when your computer isn’t showing up while trying to scan. Let’s go through some steps to get this sorted out.

 

Check HP Software & Connection

  • Ensure HP Smart or HP Full Feature Software is installed on your computer. If not, you can download it from HP’s official website.
  • If using Wi-Fi, make sure your printer and computer are connected to the same network.
  • If using USB, try reconnecting the cable and using a different port.

Enable Scan to Computer

  • Open HP Printer Assistant (Windows):
    • Search for HP in the Start menu and open HP Printer Assistant.
    • Click Scan > Manage Scan to Computer and make sure it’s enabled.

Restart Devices

  • Restart both your printer and computer to refresh the connection.

Check Windows Services (For Windows Users)

  • Press Win + R, type services.msc, and hit Enter.
  • Find Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) and make sure it's Running and set to Automatic.

If the issue persists, let me know what steps you’ve tried so far, and we’ll figure this out together! 😊
