Hi,

 

Thanks for using the forum.

 

How to Scan to Computer

 


In order to scan from Printer to Computer, you would need to install the Full feature Printer software first.

 

You can download the software from this link, please select the correct operating system before downloading:

Once you have installed the software,

 

  1. Click on the printer Icon (on your desktop) and it will bring up the HP Printer Assistant.
  2. Under the Scan menu, there is a "Manage Scan to Computer", click on that.
  3. Make sure that you "Enable" the Scan to Computer.  Also make sure the tab "Automatically start Scan to Computer when i log on to Windows" is check if you want to have this feature permanent. (an example is shown below)

Hope that helps.
