HP 8600 no longer able to scan

[Bill431]

HP Office Jet 8600 Pro with wireless router.  Was working fine with old  router. Installed new Netgear AC2300 router.  Printer is shown on Netgear Network diagram.  Ran Print and Scan Doctor 5.1.  Print works fine and test page prints from computer (Doctor).  Ran scan test and it makes printer go into scan mode.  However it then states Scanner unreachable.  The only test to fail was "Windows (WIA) Scan"

As I understand you are facing issues with scan in the printer.

Let me ask a few questions to assist you better. 🙂

How does a stand alone copy works?

When you try to copy, does the scanner light moves inside?

Meanwhile, you could follow this link and try the steps given.

Let me know how that pans out.

Thank you for this help.  The problem was in Local Services (WIA).  I did as you suggested to start the WIA service and now scanner works.  Thanks again
