Hi @demian10,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
I understand that scanning works for a few documents, but eventually the preview completes while the actual scan fails with an error.
To narrow this down, could you please provide:
The exact HP printer/scanner model.
Are you scanning through HP Smart, HP Scan, or another application?
Windows or macOS, and the version?
The exact error message that appears when the scan fails.
Does the problem occur when using the scanner glass, ADF, or both?
If the preview works but the final scan fails, the error details will help determine whether this is related to the scanning application, connection, or ADF/scanner hardware.
Best regards,
