I've encountered this on Mac OS Catalina and now Monterey (OS's 11 and 12).

Unable to use for the last two Mac OS releasesĭespite being able to connect wirelessly to my LaserJet Pro MFP M281cdw, and print and do single side scans from HP Smart on my iPhone and my Mac, HP Easy Smart cannot find my printer, even after all of the reset and driver uninstall/reinstall directions provided. This is a productivity time saver! Kudos !! It will save me a lot of work back when I used to scan to a USB drive, switch it to my computer, and search HP_Scan directory and hope my document appeared. Thanks HP for a great, AND FREE, scan App.

I went to my computer' scan folder and there each document had been saved to a separate jpeg. Delighted, I stacked several documents on my printers from feed and each document was scanned. The Easy Scan App reappeared and when the scan completed and displayed in the App, I clicked on 'Send' which opened a save window where I selected a Folder for storing all future scans. Once completed, a document that I had previously placed on my printer started being scanned. Select Scan at the bottom of the screen to scan your document or picture.Īfter your scan is finished, select View to see the scanned file before you save it, or select Close to save it. You can edit the scanned document or picture in the preview that appears when you select View.I downloaded HP Easy Scan to my new iMac Pro and once the download completed and the App opened, I went to devices on my computer and clicked on my office 'HP OfficeJet Pro 8600' Icon - immediately my computer started downloading a new print driver file. Under Save file to, browse to the location where you want to save the scan. Select Show more to show the Save file to options. For example, you can save the file in different file formats-such as JPEG, Bitmap, and PNG. Under File type, select the type of file you want the scan to be saved as.

Under Source, select the location you prefer to scan from. Under Scanner, select the scanner you want to use. Place the item you want to scan in the scanner's document feeder. Place the item you want to scan face down on the scanner's flatbed and close the cover. In the search box on the taskbar, type Windows Scan, and then select Scan from the results. Note: Need to install the Windows Scan app? You can get the app at Microsoft Store.
