Hi @Rosie0428,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

If your HP OfficeJet Pro 9018e is not scanning, here are some troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue.

 

Check Connection

  • Ensure the printer is properly connected to your computer or network. If using Wi-Fi, ensure both the printer and computer are on the same network.
  • Restart your router, printer, and computer to refresh the connection.

HP Smart App Troubleshooting

  • Make sure you are using the latest version of the HP Smart App or HP Scan Software.
  • Reinstall the app if it’s not working properly.
  • Open the app and try scanning the document again. Check for any error messages.

Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS)

  • Open a browser on a device connected to the same network as your printer.
  • Type the printer’s IP address (found on the printer's display or configuration page) into the browser's address bar.
  • Log into the EWS page and navigate to the Scan tab to try scanning directly from the printer’s internal web page.

Printer Software Update

  • Ensure that both your printer and software have the latest updates installed.
  • You can check for printer firmware updates from the HP Smart or HP Print and Scan Doctor tools.

Check Scan Settings

  • Verify that the scan settings are correctly set in your scanning software or app. Make sure the scan destination is correctly configured.
  • If you're trying to scan to an email or file destination, ensure the correct settings are applied.

Restart the Printer

  • Power off the printer, unplug it for 30 seconds, then plug it back in and power it on. After it restarts, attempt the scan again.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
