Getting a new cd

You can get the software and drivers from HP: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?lc=en&cc=us&product=61956&dlc=en

Pick your OS and you can even order a replacement CD with the software. Be aware that HP has not issued new drivers for Vista or Windows 7.

I hope this helps.

You can scan with out any HP software also using the below steps.
Make sure that the printer is connected to the computer perform the following steps;

Steps for scanning in Windows XP: 1. Click the Start (Windows) icon.
2. Click All Programs.
3. Click Accessories.
4. Click Paint.
5. Click File and then click From Scanner or Camera.
6. Click Scan.
Steps for scanning in Windows vista:

1.Click the Start (Windows) icon.
2. Click All Programs.
3. Click Windows Photo Gallery.
4. Click File and then click Import From Scanner or Camera.
5. Click Import.
6. Click Scan.

Just to try....

The Scanner software should have an option to choose image or text, image and text etc.. Look for that first.

Do a scan but before you do and run through the process as you normally would.

Put the printer/scanner CD in the carriage cancel auto-start. My HP different type but... does not always see/grab ALL of the scanner files on an install. Sometimes however, it will go looking for the files it needs and grab them off of the CD when it actually NEEDS them. When you try to actually to the scan. Otherwise the printer probably works perfectly right.

If you want to check it out just for the sake of it. Look in Windows explorer - control panel and see if there is actually a scanner listed or just a printer? Good luck!

type in psc1315.

They have all the software, firmware and apps

i have a Vista system and an old hp 1315. the CD driver that came with it includes some very useful software that cannot be installed in my laptop. according to the hp website, that's because Vista comes with a compatible software for my hardware. checking Windows Help & Support gave me this solution:

Open to Windows Photo Gallery, click File then click Import from Camera or Scanner.

i did exactly that and it worked!

i hope this was of some help.

I partually solve my problem in vista. to scan I ues paint and use the scanner connection in there.
