Switch the unit. let it rest for half an hour. While it is resting check the manual for any 'faults' list. Look for a 'reset' command - may be mean pressing several buttons while the machine is off and then with the buttons still pressed switch on the machine[you may need two hands and a nose or three hands for this ;-)] If still out of luck go to places for further info HP technical support team or www,fixyourownprinter.com
One more try - Unplug the USB[any end] then reconnect
This beginning to show ominous signs - like the scanner has died.
I assume you are talking about using the scanner direct ?
Have you ever used the scanner through the computer - via an Image editor or the Windows camera and scanner utility?
Have you tried the HP technical Support Team?
One more thought
You use the scanner directly - is this still the case?
Is it only through the computer the trouble comes?
have you by chance changed over to Vista?
There are issues with drivers and software with certain devices with this operating system

Thank you Jackboy. This is very useful information although I already did that, the problem is half solved. I can print, but any attempt to use the scanner creates the original probem. The same note flashes with the buttons and I still cannot use the icon.
Any other suggestion?
Thank you, I think I am almost there. I still would like to get there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I used the scanner directly and through the computer. It worked great until now. I will try your last suggestion. I have tried HP tech. help. I can try them again.
Thank you.
Thank you all for your help. I disconnected the printer and unstalled the printer software, then reinstalled and connected. This solved the problem.
I appreciate all the help.
