Guys....Had the same problem and this is how I fixed it.
Connect your 5610 printer to your computer.
Click: Start....Programs...Accessories...Scanner and Camera Operator.
Follow the instructions to scan your items.

I have the same problem. My scanner used to work and then one day I noticed it didn't work anymore and says this same message ("no scan options - refer to device documentation to troubleshoot". I'm not sure if it all started when I added Microsoft Excel or upgraded to Windows XP (I can't remember). I feel like this printer is a waste now and feel like getting a new one. It faxes and prints fine (although it runs out of ink constantly).

I'm using my officejet 5610 on my XP operating system and I am getting the same problem. I press the scan button and it just says for me to refer to the manual and that I have no scan options. Please help!

Same problem here....5610xi all in one..... what worked for me for a while but now no longer works is uninstalling the driver....
Right-Click on My Computer and select Manage
Double click on Device Manager under System Tools.
Double click on Universal Serial Bus controllers.
Find Officejet 5600 and right click on it and select Uninstall.
Then unplug the appropriate USB cable that connects the HP to the Computer. Wait a moment and plug it back it. The computer will re-install it automatically. And supposedly you should be back in business. NOTE: This worked for me the first dozen times (yes I said dozen, the scan failed many many times) and now what do you know it doesn't work anymore.

I used this machine for a long time on 2000 and XP.
Now I have Vista and the scan document-to-pdf feature no longer works - PDF was not presented as a save option.
I did the web chat with HP and the people there were not helpful. I called HP support and of course they wanted to charge for "out of warranty support" even though I am looking for software/driver support - not warranty support on my hardware.
Can someone recommend a nice non-HP alternative that will print/copy/scan/fax and can create a multi-page PDF when scanning? I use this feature all the time for my expense reports.

I am having exact same problem. I have a new printer and just installed the software for the first time. I got the "no scan options" message (with a totally exasperating "refer to the manual for troubleshooting suggestions" when there is no mention of this issue in the manual) and so uninstalled and reinstalled my software as the manual says this should take care of most basic problems. (Also disconnected the USB port before re-installing, and reconnected it at the appropriate time, as they say to.)

I had my hp 5610 on my laptop through USB, i unplugged it and plugged it into another laptop. I plugged it back into the first laptop and now it wont respond at all.

I have the same "no scan options". Iv'e called HP tech support, but they want $34.00 to help. What a Rip-off!. Iv'e reinstalled the software several times, even 3 others that I downloaded online. I went on HP's support page and followed the instructions for that problem,
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00503569&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=441127&dlc=en&lang=en, which basically leads to uninstal and reinstall the software. Still no fix. Very frustrating. This is my second HP with stupid software problems. I'll never buy HP again, especially because of their costly support structure.
