the scan function won\'t work on my HP Deskjet F4280. When I press the scan button, all that happens is the light on the power button starts flashing. Any assistance would be much appreciated

Hello Lulu !

To use the scan features, the HP All-in-One and computer must be connected and turned
on. The HP Photosmart Software must also be installed and running on your computer
prior to scanning. To verify that the HP Photosmart Software is running on a indowscan
computer, look for the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon in the system tray at the lower
right side of the screen, near the time.

To scan to a computer
1. Load your original print side down on the right front corner of the glass.
2. Press Scan.
A preview image of the scan appears on your computer, where you can edit it. Any
edits that you make apply to the current scan session only.
The HP Photosmart Software has many tools that you can use to edit your scanned
image. You can improve the overall image quality by adjusting the brightness,
sharpness, color tone, or saturation. You can also crop, rotate, or resize the image.
3. Make any edits to the preview image, and then click Accept when you are finished.

Heres a link you will find everything you need to know about the f4280 (scan features starts on page 63) :

just reinstall the printer driver software cd it will install the missing file.and scanner function will start.

I had the same problem with my HP F4280. Go into control panel, click on devices and printers, then click on the HP F4280. An option to scan will come up, including a preview option so you can select the area of the scan. It'll work fine if you do it this way instead of pressing the scan button.

Then make a shortcut to the printer on your desktop so the next time you want to scan you just click on the shortcut

Your best bet would be to get the latest driver from www.hp.com . Find the driver page and enter your model number. From there you can download the latest drivers.
If that doesn't work, it's probably faulty hardware. Check if warranty is an option, or you might be better off getting a new machine.

If you have installed your printer correctly, is your Page aligned, if not try page alignment by loading A4 paper into the tray and adjust the tray to fit with your paper, then restart your printer.

Note that you do not need the photo smart essential to perform your scanning, all you need is to press the scan button and the scanning page automatically open on your PC

Try to download a OCR trial software from the internet, this software allows you to edit what you have scanned.

Open Paint, from Start>All Programs>Accessories and select File>From Scanner or Camera...
