HP 2540: Cannot sweep on 2540. Analyze the icon option on HP s/w not stay appear

2540 and HP s/w on my laptop installed with success at home on WiFi.  Then I moved everything to my RV... which means put PCs and the 2540 on a different network.   Had to uninstall HP desktop s/w (on Toshiba Win8.1 64) and DELETE the printer and then reinstalling s/w to achieve the ability to print on my WiFi based on RV (the process included via a USB port).  I can print now, but cannot scan.  Even ran doctor printing/scanning HP with no satisfaction.

Once again: I can't scan.  The s/w HP does not offer this as an option as it did in my original installation of 'home '.  When I click on HP desktop icon now, I am prompted with "do you want to allow the following program to make changes?  I proceeded to YES several times.  No help.

In addition:

Under control panel / printers & devices, there are two HP icons: series of readings (1) HP Deskjet 2540, others (2) reads the same but includes the word "driver"... and 'pilot' is the default icon and is functional for printing.  The icon (1) cannot be made by default, and when you click on to, the new screen reads "no task is available on this page.   FWIW, I can't scan during an attempt of web page IE directly to the IP address of the HP.

At home, I had a HP icon on the desktop , when you click on it, took me to a HP screen which included "Scan."   The current /same icon compels me now to 'Do you want to install more s/w'... and if 'yes', I have 2 viable options, but him 'add more software' is printing in black (can't click on it).  To the right of this 3rd option, if I choose 'Visit HP.com', I am overwhelmed at what HP wants me to then (spending money, is clearly the purpose of the screen).  No help there.

Several times, I tried to remove all the HP s/w and printers and everything I could imagine... and then re-located to the s/w time from the CD and via the web.

Signed: Really frustrated.

I'm now printing/scanning OK... but not with the s/w which is here on data CD that accompanies the 2540... a package of s/w that I used quite happy.

After HOURS of frustration trying to get the data loading on my laptop CD (never did it), I found the executable "HpSupportSolutionsFramework 12.0.26" on the HP site which (when run), load a new piece of s/w on my laptop Win-8.  No user manual.  No help screens.  No reasoning why the old s/w has been is no longer supported.  Without explaining why the s/w which charge a year ago would not now charge.  Ideally, the HP web site should have an assignment that my 'old' s/w has now been replaced by new ones.   Lack of communication on the part of HP.
