Faulty Hardware ConnectionsA loose USB cable, damaged power adapter, or unstable wireless network can disrupt communication. Wireless setups are particularly prone to connectivity issues.
Software ConflictsThird-party antivirus programs, firewalls, or existing printer/scanner software might block the installation process.
Incorrect Installation OrderSome HP scanners require users to install the software before connecting the hardware.
