    Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

    To scan a document and print it on Windows:

    • Place the document face down on your printer’s scanner.
    • On your PC, search and open Windows Scan.
    • Click Scan and save the file.
    • Open the scanned file.
    • Press Ctrl + P, select your printer, and click Print.

    "Scan and edit a document" https://support.microsoft.com/office/scan-and-edit-a-document-7a07a4bd-aca5-4ec5-ba73-4589ac8b9eed

    If you don’t see Windows Scan, install it free from the Microsoft Store.


    If this doesn’t work, please let me know:

    1. Do you have an all-in-one printer (scan + print)?
    2. What printer brand/model are you using?

    To scan a document and then print a copy, you can follow these general steps:

    1. Scanning the Document:
      • Use a scanner connected to your computer. If you are developing an application, you can utilize the ImageScanner class from the Windows.Devices.Scanners namespace to access the scanner and perform the scan. You can choose the scan source (like flatbed or feeder) and initiate the scan using methods like ScanFilesToFolderAsync.
      • For example, to scan using the default settings, you can call:
             var result = await myScanner.ScanFilesToFolderAsync(ImageScannerScanSource.Default, folder);
        
    2. Printing the Document:
      • After scanning, you can print the document using the print functionality available in your application. You can customize the print options and settings as needed. If you are developing an app, refer to the documentation on how to print from your app to implement this functionality.

    Make sure your scanner and printer are properly set up and connected to your computer to ensure a smooth process.
