HP Scanning failed. Says required software component is missing

Hi,

I just started with scanning documents but I received this annoying error message during the process of scanning. I installed the printer software properly then why am I getting this error? Is there any issue while installation the software? The reinstallation process did not fix this problem. Help me! Thanks.

 

 

HP Scanning

A required software component was not found or was improperly installed. Reinstall the HP Photosmart software that came with the device, and try scanning again.
