If you’re having problems with your HP printer, especially when you are trying to scan a document, the guides in this article will be able to help you out. I will also give some troubleshooting guides on how you can set up your HP printer wirelessly in different ways via the HP Smart app or Mac’s Image Capture. With software that doesn't trip over itself during the first run and then fail to run thereafter.īut you'll see above I was able to resolve it with no thanks to the useless HP installer.In this post, I will discuss various ways to scan using your HP printer on your Mac.
