Windows 10: The printer/scanner/copier (HP deskjet 3050 J610) I used with Windows 7 was not compatible...

The printer (HP deskjet 3050 J610) I used with windows 7 was not compatible with Windows 10 until I downloaded an HP printer driver. At first the printer and scanner worked beautifully. I could choose to either the printer or the scanner in the same icon. To day, to my surprise, the printer icon disappeared from my desktop. I downloaded the DJ3050-J610 driver and installed again. But the printer/scanner is not the same as before.


The scanner is not readily available after clicking on the printer icon to open it. It can only be found after click to open HP All-in-One printer remote (Wondows 8.1+ ) and choose the connection option ( USB001)" A new page will open, “Scan“ with 5 options: “Print Documents", "Print Photos", "HP Help &Support" and "Print Setting".


At this point, I can click on "scan" to activate the scanning function. It is cumbersome. And it does not show a window for different choices.

My questions are: (1) how to make the scanner easily available like before, without going through all the steps? (2) Can I put an I cone of the icon? (3) How do I bring back jd

Have you tried removing the device and reinstalling the printer with the drivers?

Sometimes the windows updates mess up hardware drivers and even though you did this before it might not to be done again.
