HP Print and Scan Doctor is a free software utility that helps you quickly address most printing and scanning issues with HP printers. This utility works on everything from Windows XP to Windows 10. This utility works on everything from Windows XP to Windows 10. Up to a few days ago, I could scan fine from the second computer, with the connection only via the network. I can still print fine, but no longer scan. The scanner is not seen by my computer (I never saw it on the Devices and Printers but in the scanning software it was available, and it worked).
Here's a brief tutorial to help you enable scan options in the HP Officejet 6500A Plus All-in-one printer. The steps should work for most of the latest HP web-enabled printers.
Note: HP sent me a review unit of the above printer, and the steps are Windows-only. If you need help setting up the printer, refer to our HP printer set up post.
Step 1: Go to Control Panel –> Device and Printers and double-click on the HP printer icon. You should find Scanner Actions there. Under that, click on Activate Scan to Computer.
Step 2: Well, that's about it! You will be greeted with a box mentioning that the printer is ready to scan documents to your computer.
We will talk more about scanning from a printer in our future posts. Stay tuned.
