Both ADF and scan from glass stopped working.  ADF will take the first page and then just stop and I have to eventually cancel the scan.  From glass it goes through the motions as well but stops and I have to cancel.  Have tried unplugging to reset, etc to no avail.  Please help.

@TD88 Greetings from the HP Community!

 

Clean the scanner

Fingerprints, smudges, dust, or debris on the scanner glass, under the scanner lid, or in the document feed slot can cause lines and color bands. Clean these parts with a soft, lint-free cloth sprayed with glass cleaner.

Read one of the following sections for steps to clean these components, depending on your printer type.

No, sorry those steps do not remedy.  It is not a scan quality issue.  Absolutely no picture shows up on my Chromebook after scanning.  Printer works fine.  I have followed all reset suggestions, etc as well.

@TD88 Could you create a copy from the printer and check if the scanner light moves back and forth?

Keep me posted.

Yes the scanner light does move back and forth

The page gets pulled through and scanned but the status never changes from 'scanning page' it keeps going until it cancels itself or I cancel it.  In the scan job window an image never shows just the black screen that initially appears.
