If there is an error detected, then the HP Print and Scan Doctor will tell you which part of the process is causing the issue by marking the step in red with an ‘X’. You can perform a test scan to make sure that the devices are connected. Additionally, HP Doctor checks that the ‘Windows WIA Scan’, ‘HP Twain Scan’, ‘Registry’, and ‘HP Scan’ are functioning properly. There are similar stages examined for the scanner. If the printer does not display any disruptions, then you can print a test page to verify that the connection works.

The system scans the ‘Recommended Updates’, ‘Print Spooler’, ‘Driver Check’, ‘Device Status’, ‘Device Manager’, ‘Device Online’, ‘Print Queue’, ‘Port Match’, and ‘Device Conflicts’ for the printer. A green checkmark will be next to the conditions that are okay, and a red ‘X’ will be beside the steps that triggered an error. There will be a list of points that the app will check. The application first examines the printer and then the scanner to fix issues.

Thank you for participating in the HP Community Forum. Regardless of all else, you should be able to complete the download. Regardless, the download itself (when downloaded from the printer diagnostics website) should work. I have no way to test this - I am not any longer running Windows 7 on any of our machines. The version of Windows you are running may influence which version of the Doctor package downloads, though I am not aware that Windows 7 uses a different Doctor program than the one used in Windows 10. Save the installation file to your computer > Double-Click on the file to extract and run the program. I tested (downloaded the most recent version of the Doctor) on and the version in the downloaded package (at this writing) is 5.0.4 (and not 5.2.x).Īnswer "yes" to the question about whether your printer is having issues to invoke the download action.
