How to connect scanner to my Mac

Hello everyone,

I need to know how to connect the hp laser jet 138fnw scanner. I already connected the printer to my Mac but I am not able to connect the scanner included in the printer to my Mac. The printer was found through the airplay option but I am not able to find the scanner in the printers & scanner option in the system preferences.

Thanks

MacBook Air, macOS 13.1

Brother scanner doesn't work after Ventura upgrade I have a 2017 Macbook Pro 13-inch, serial # FV***V22. I recently upgraded to Ventura 13.0.1 and now my scanner won't work. Previously I would got to System Settings, click Printers & Scanners, and click the Open Scanner button. Since the software upgrade, when I click the Open Scanner button, a new page opens with the name of my printer at the top (Brother MFC-J870DW) but nothing happens after that. I was able to use the scanner with an app (Brother iPrint&Scan) but regret the loss of innate scanner ability [Personal Information Edited by Moderator]

printer goes offline after ventura update My hardware is a MacMini with OS Ventura 13.1 operating wirelessly with my printer (HP Envy 5546 all in one printer/scanner). I cannot print a document as the printer is shown as "Offline". I would like to know if there is a simple procedure to make my printer "online". I have checked that the printer and computer are operating on the same network, also I have only this one printer on my network. Thanks to Old Toad for suggestion re how to make the question clearer.

Unable to SCAN a document after upgrade to Ventura 13.0.1 Just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Ventura 13.0.1, and also applied the most current Epson drivers. While printing to my Epson Workforce 630 Printer/Scanner works properly, attempts to Scan a document hangs and never completes. Have already spend 2 hours on the phone with Apple Support. Any ideas on how to get the Scanner to connect?

Hello!

First, Set up a scanner to use with Mac - Apple Support.

Next, Scan images in Image Capture on Mac - Apple Support.
