Having a problem with wireless HPofficejet 7410. I have had it for 2 years and no problem. Now the scanner works slow and sometimes does not work. I am getting an error on the printer 0x88683346. I am connected wirelessly. Running XP.

If you upgraded having scanner failure is not uncommon due to driver issues with newer OS. If using under old conditions and now not working best to kiss it good by and go shopping. Unless you want to try a hard reset and uninstall and reinstall software.

you might try searching for download of firmware thru HP support

You have a problem with your scanner, you should try reinstalling the drivers on your device, and also check on your manual if there is a prerequisite requirement regarding your scanner, in order for it to work properly.

You wouldn need to install scanner driver for it. To check whether they installed or not you would need to go to Device manager then check whether there scanner installed or not

I uninstalled/put into trash everything on my system related to the original application. Emptied the trash. Downloaded newest drivers, etc. from HP site and installed on my Mac. Yahoo!!! Scanner works fine!

Unplug it and wait a few minutes. mine did the same thing.... I let it sit for a few minutes and then it started again

One of the first things to do is download a program called "Malware Bytes" (Google it). Install and run the scanner/cleaner to wipe any nasties off of the machine. You may find that after running this program many of the woes you've described magically go away (especially the slow operation)...

I get the same thing when I try to scan but there is a work-around: Get a memory card and stick it in one of those many card slots on the right front of the printer. Then when you hit "scan to", it will prompt you to scan to the memory card. My printer is configured wireless so I am assuming that the scanner just doesn't work with that. Also, I'll bet if you can figure out how to get the file sharing option to work on the printer (it used to work for me but I have been to lazy to re-configure), I am sure you scanner will start working again.

Try this partial soltion; it's worked for nearly everone who's tried it. Unfortunantly, you lose your wireless capabilities, but at leat you're not left with a $500 paper weight:

(It's interesting that the majority of posts with this issue have occured on numerous sites during the last two months).
