You can use Windows apps to do the scanning without creating an HP account.

Yeah my mom has HP wireless printers and I always uninstalled the HP software and it works every time without having to install anything else.

Maybe because I’m used to the MacOS world but that should be the default first thing you try is do nothing and let the OS handle it.

Some new HP printers lock scanning on the printer side unless you sign in with an account, any printer with an e at the end of the model number won't even let you print to 9100 without an account.
