How do I scan from HP Officejet Pro 8600 using Windows 11?

Does anyone know how I set up the HP Officejet Pro 8600 to scan documents using Windows 11?

I installed drivers from the HP website. No dice. The printer/scanner has the latest firmware.

I have the Scan app from the Windows store. It says: "To get started, connect a scanner." The device is on and connected. I can print just fine.

I tried to find a manage option in the printer and scanners config area that let me enable the scanner but don't see an option.

Moreover, Microsoft documentation all seems specific to Windows 10 but I use Windows 11. That, and MS help documentation that gives an option keeps reverting back to Windows 10 as if I didn't specify Windows 11 and Microsoft can't use meta data from the browser to know my operating system.

I run Windows 11 on a Microsoft Surface Pro 9.

This is absolutely frustrating. I was able to use a 15 year old Mac laptop to scan the same documents using Preview without problems. But my much newer Windows computer lamely prints only.

    I uninstalled the HP software and restarted.

    Scanner still isn't recognized. Printer works though. I have all the latest Microsoft updates installed.

    Is there a config file specific to the scanner that I can update to possibly recognize the scanner?

    Hi ,

    I am Ivan, I will help you with this.

    Will you uninstall all HP applications if you use USB or Wifi connection?
