can someone please help me with scanning function on my hp printer?

[orleans]

i have a hpdeskjet 4155e

i want to scan a document (paper) to save into my computer.

i can't figure out where the scan function or button is on the printer.

i found a video but you need a smart phone. i do not have a smart phone.

is the scan function only available with a smart phone?

appreciate any help. (sorry if this seems/sounds so dumb)

1. Usually there's

a manual for the printer/scanner online. I have an Epson so I don’t know if they’re made the same way.

2. HP SMART

If you can, try downloading HP Smart. I was having trouble prior to doing this and my son-in-law helped me with setting up my HP printer for scanning in HP Smart.

I hope this helps.

4. Seriously, get a young person who is computer literate to help you.

My Canon would print what is scanned but not documents on the printer. I called Canon and their tech worked on it for 3 hours without success. My 13-year-old great-grandson came over and fixed it in about 15 minutes.

5. Do a search on your computer for HP scanner

If your computer is linked to the printer/scanner (assuming this since you want to upload to computer), there should be an HP printer/scanner app on your computer that will walk you through it.

It will ask you where you want to save the scanned image, and give you choices. I recommend setting up a folder for your scanned images on your desktop to find it easily.

6. The scan function may be on your computer when you are

connected to the printer.
