Turns out I had to go online and install the scanning application for my specific printer which for some reason had been removed from my printer/computer. Even when I had put the original installation CD in it was still missing. I went to the HP print and scan doctor which told me it was missing. So now I know how to get to it online it case it comes up missing again. I have no idea why it was deleted in the first place, but the installation online for the scanning application worked and the icon is back to where it is supposed to be and it works fine.
