Set up scan jobs from the printer or use the computer camera to capture documents and photos.

Turn on Wi-Fi on your computer and connect to your network. If the computer is connected to the network with an Ethernet cable, temporarily disconnect the cable and use the Wi-Fi connection during the setup.

Enable Bluetooth on the computer so that HP Smart can detect the printer during the setup.

Download the HP Smart app from HP Smart - Microsoft Store (Windows) or HP Smart - Mac App Store (macOS).
If you are prompted to sign in with Microsoft to use the app across devices, you can sign in or click No, thanks to continue.

Hi,
Did you actually SAVE them ? if yes, could be in Libraries, My Documents ... or under HP something folder. If you DID not save them, sorry, you have to scan again.
Regards,
