Hi Janine,

unable to scan to computer windows 10

Hi.

Restart the computer and the printer can restore the lost scan connection, to repair this failure I leave the following steps:

• Turn off the printer.

• Make sure that the printer power cord is connected directly to a power outlet and not through a surge protector or power strip.

• Close all running programs on the computer and turn off the computer.

• Turn on the printer.

• Turn on the equipment.

• Find the model name of your printer in Windows and then click on the name of the printer in the results list.

• If the HP Printer Assistant opens, click Scan a document or photo or Manage scan to computer, and then make sure the checkbox next to Start Scan to Computer automatically is selected when you log in to Windows.

• If HP Solution Center is opened, click Scan Settings to see the status of the scan connection, settings, and preferences.

• If the name of your printer is not in the results, go to the step to install the HP software for your printer.

• Try to scan.
