when scanning from my hp printer to my laptop, how do I change the destination folder? Right now when scanning FROM my scanner, the scanned files go to Documents by default. I'd like to change the destination folder.

Hello,
You may change the default settings by changing the default scan shortcuts from the HP software:
Open the printer software (your hp printer) and select Scan a document or Photo.
Click the Advanced Settings button for the used shortcut and select the destination folder within the Destination tab.
Click OK and then click the Scan button.
Once completing the scan job the settings should be kept for the specific shortcut once using it from the front panel as well.
