HP Officetjet 6500 E709N, Scan option does not work [Solved by using webscan option]


When you use the the printer scan buttons, the printer's LCD display will show: "select computer" and an arrow pointing to the right, and when you press the right rocker switch to "select the computer", nothing happens.
I tried uninstall and reinstall of thee full software package which is over 300MB and includes a lot of things I did not find useful and the result on the printer's display was the same.

You only need to enable the webscan option:
