I have an iMac 27 late 2014 with El Capitan installed. Since installing it I cannot save documents which I scanned using my HP Officejet 6700. Why

iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X El Capitan (10.11), HP Officejet 6700

Which app do you use to Scan and what happens when you attempt to save a scanned file?

Please answer both questions, be as specific as you can please.

I deinstalled the HP Officejet 6700 software and reinstalled it.
I am using HP Utility which recognizes HP Officejet 6700 and reports on its status
I then use HP Scan and it successfully scans the document
When I want to save the document a message comes up that the document could not be saved without an explanation why

HP's software is aweful at best. I would strongly recommend that you use Image Capture, this app is already pre-installed on your iMac. Assuming your device's scanner is supported by El Capitan (HP provides the drivers, not Apple). If you are not familiar with IC then please read over
