HP OfficeJet Pro 9025
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

I used HP smart to scan doc with my HP OfficeJet Pro 9025 in wifi connected.

No problem until last week.

Suddenly, I always get an error message saying "A problem with the scanner has been detected".

I have tried uninstalling both the printer and the HP smart program with no results.

I downloaded and started the "doctor" diagnostic program, but no problems were found.
I finally tried HP's other scan program "HP scan", and the scan works.
But I do not like this program which does not allow to choose front / back in the parameters.
I discovered similar posts on the forum, but no solution.
Can you help me ? Has the HP smart program, which worked well before, been updated?
With thanks,

I have the same issue but on a ENVY 6030, the proposed solution did not work for me tried 2 laptops, i thinks it is not a mechanical issue because i can scan from my phone app.

A have also ran HP doctor tool.

I think there is a bug in the latest update of HP Smart. On a Mac, it may be possible to scan using the MacOS program Image Capture. If that does not work, I think that we have to wait for the next update of HP Smart.

I have two iMacs connected to the same printer. With HP Smart updated scanning does not work, but with a computer without the update of HP Smart scanning does work. And when scanning with HP Smart does not work, I can scan using Image Capture.

I have tried reinstalling the new version of HP Smart, but this did not help.

I purchassed westerday a HP OfficeJet Pro 9025 and the scanner does not work with the HP Smart app. I get the message "A scanner problem has been detected" in French. The hardware seems to work fine because I was able to scan with the Windows Scan app. However I can't scan and make a PDF with the Windows scan app. (jpg Tiff and png). I suspect a bug in the HP Smart app latest version. I'm looking forward for a fix ASAP. The Windows 10 operating system has the latest update.

Looking forward for a solution
