Assuming the printer is an HP printer,
Assuming the HP printer is supported and the software is available,
The Full Feature Software includes HP Scan
Open Support Home
Enter the name of your HP device
- Open Category Software and Drivers (possibly subcategory Software-Utility)
- Download-and-Save the Full Feature Software / Print and Scan Driver and Accessories or HP Easy Start Printer Setup for your Operating System version.
- Open File Explorer
- Navigate to the folder in which you saved the installation file (likely Downloads)
- Right-Click on the installation package and “Run as Administrator”
- Reminder: If using Easy Start, select the Full Driver

Example - Blue HP Scan shortcut icon on the Desktop
Printer_Assistant_Shortcut_Icon_on_Desktop
NOTES
If using USB, disconnect the USB cable between the printer and the computer before starting the installation. Connect the cable when instructed to do so (toward the end of the installation procedure).
Both the HP Smart Application and the Full Feature Software can be installed on the same computer – when available, the Full Feature Software should be installed first (and the computer should be restarted).
