How do I find scanning software (to download) for my 6500e printer that is connected to a MAC? HP only had Microsoft op sys on the list. Thanks.

Hi @gardener99,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
You're absolutely right to expect full support for your HP ENVY 6500e All-in-One Printer on macOS, and HP does provide it, even if it’s not immediately obvious on the main download page. Let’s get you set up with the official HP scanning software for your Mac, with no need for third-party tools.
Download HP Scanning Software for macOS
HP recommends using the HP app for macOS, which includes scanning, printing, and troubleshooting features all in one intuitive interface.
Here’s the official download link:
👉 HP Envy 6500e All-in-One Printer series Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Support
Once you’re on the page:
- Select macOS from the operating system dropdown.
- Download the HP app or HP Easy Start (if available).
- Follow the guided installation to connect your printer and enable scanning.
Why the HP app Is Recommended
- Scan directly to your Mac with options for PDF, JPEG, and more.
- Edit and enhance scans before saving.
- Wireless or USB support works either way.
- HP account integration for Instant Ink and support.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have an amazing day!
