Hp printers have a variety of options, from scanning and copying to printing and faxing. scanners can read almost any type of 2d image, such as photographs or drawings. once you scan the image, you can send it directly to your pc desktop or another folder on your computer.. Once the printer was added using the hp software, the hp software gave me all the control options, including "scan to computer". if the printer is added using the windows settings app, the hp software is useless.. To scan a document using an hp printer, first ensure that the computer to which you are scanning is connected to the printer, either with a usb cable or wirelessly, and that the printer’s software is installed on the computer..
When hp scan software is not available, use a windows image acquisition (wia)-compliant software application such as windows fax and scan when the printer is connected via a usb cable. this document is intended for hp laserjet all-in-one printers.. My printer works, but i want to enable scanning. but i can't find my hp printer software on my computer--not under "all apps" or in the control panel under "remove programs.". Hello, @legrandfromage – hope you are well thanks for engaging in the hp forums! i see by your post that you are having issues while setting up scan to email feature on your photosmart printer..
