We have an HP LaserJet Pro at home and the HP program on Windows 11 sucks compared to my much cheaper Brother dedicated document scanner I have in the office. Lack of QOL features like auto-deskew, blank page removal, OCR… I’ve tried the HP software and the built-in scanning programs in Windows 11. None of them are good in comparison to the Brother.

Is there any decent scanning software I can use with our HP that will give me comparable features to the Brother program?
 
Doesn't this printer have a Scan to PDF function built into the printer? Most HP printers do... Don't really need software..

You might also check out Scan Tailor and gImageReader if you want or need finer control. The former is post processing and the latter is OCR.

I'm not familiar with HP's built-in but I presume it's lacking to other software options.
