Welcome to the HP Community --
Relevant to supported versions of Windows
HP Twain – Scan software
Where available, HP Twain is part of the Full Feature Software.
After the Full Feature Software is installed,
If a separate (additional) HP Twain utility is included with your printer software,
HP Twain is available in the same folder as HP Scan.
For example:
C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\HP OfficeJet Pro 9020 series\bin\
File name: TwainUtilityUI.exe
NOTE: Replace the sample printer name with your printer
NOTE 2: When installed, HP Twain also works with Irfanview software.
Example - HP Twain

=================================
Printer - Software
Remove / Install the full driver printer software
If not yet done...
Restart everything, including the router that controls you network.
Can't stand it? At least restart the printer and the computer and any device you can stand to be without for a short time.
Next,
Run Windows Updates -- If any updates are installed, Restart the computer and log in.
Next,
Uninstall the printer software from Programs and Features
Restart the computer and log in
Install a fresh copy of the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software
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
