How do I get my Officejet 8600 to scan to my new computer using windows 8

I have tried the print and scan doctor but i can't find a way to re enable the scan function for the printer.  It says that it has beeb disabled,

Hi @thostetter, 
Welcome to the HP Forum. 
I understand you are having an issue scanning from your officejet 8600 to your new windows 8.1 computer. I would like to help you with this. 
On your windows 8.1 computer, goto your desk top.
Here you should see an icon that looks like your printer named HP Officejet Pro 8600.
Click this icon.
It will open the printer assistant.  
Here you should see an option to Manage Scan to Computer. 
Select this option and enable scan to computer. 
If this does not work or I have misunderstood the issue, please let me know. 
Also, how is your printer communicating with the computer? wireless, LAN, or USB? 
Hope this helped
