Hp 2700 series all in one printer scanning issues

I'm having trouble trying to scan with my hp 2700 series in windows vista. All the functions such as printing and faxing work fine, but scanning does not. I have tried scanning in paint and windows live photo gallery, when i click import in the latter nothing happens, and when i click import in paint it says "error in connection" or something along those lines. I am not sure what the problem is, as the printer and fax works fine.

Hi .
Let me first explain that the scanning softwareis seperately loaded into the computer which is called as Digital Imaging. Try the step below:
1. try scanning from scanners and cameras - 2 errors might pop up if it does not scan - an error occurred communiating with the scanning device / no HP device detected.
2. start - programs - locate for a software loaded called HP Solution Centre / HP Director.Open the software if loaed and try to scan from there. If its not loaded then insert th installation cd and click on Install more software - full.
3. In HP solution Centre / Director click setting - scan settings - scan to ..... setup - see that both the columns of front panel and available destination list should be having some icons into it (you can add and delete from any column as desired - but none should be empty)

If none of the above work then try uninstalling and re-installing the printer software all over again

Scanner says sorry an unknown error occured The scanner seems to reconize it is connected to the computer, but it will not complete the scan

You don´t give enough information in order to allow us to help you (How are you trying to scan? What exactly happens? What OS is installed in your computer? Which software/driver did you install? Does your printer otherwise works?)

Start by reading these HP FAQs to see if you can solve the problem (2 are meant for Vista systems and one for XP). Post again if you still can't scan.

HP PRINTER PHOTOSMART C4180 on WINDOWS VISTA

Although the original poster mentioned networking he/sredm.gifhe also seemed to be asking about HP all-in-one issues in general and Vista compatibility. Networking, scanning, copying and printing can have seperate and integrated issues to varying degrees. This may not just be a scanner networking general query.

In my case I downloaded and installed the additional bundled software per HP's advice while trying to get the scanner to scan at the dpi level advertized for the unit. Neither Vista or HP had drivers that worked unless I installed the package. Low resolution scanning worked fine as well as the copying and printinting features. I rarely need such high scanning options but it should have worked as advertized since it was sold by an HP distributor as Vista compatible.

The downloaded AIO did allow higher resolution when scanning but caused other NON-NETWORKING issues. My computer is not networked. There is also the issue of the scan button on the printer not working with Vista. It does work with pre-Vista. Again not a network issue but a driver issue with Vista.

Taken from the MHTML file from the unit software found after the purchase......

HP Printers - The Scan Button on the Printer Does Not Work Correctly When the Printer is Connected to a Windows Vista Computer

Issue
When the scan button is pressed on the printer, nothing happens. The scan button does not work correctly.

Solution
Scan documents using Windows Fax and Scanning or Paint.

Cause
The drivers in the Windows Vista operating system do not support button press functionality on the printer. END EXERPT.

Button functionality. DPI resolution. There are driver issues with some of the HP units and Vista. Not just networking issues.

In my opinion these issues should have been fully disclosed prior to purchase or functional Vista drivers should be an option. Therefore I offer the warning that Vista may have issues with this and other software and hardware.

I only speak of non-networking issues but either way a unit should work as advertized or sold. My comments are based on my personal experience with one unit in this particular situation. After all Vista is fairly new to most of us.

HP PSC 1510 Vista issues

what happens whenever you are trying to scan.... any error message or any error number?

try scanning from the printer to the computer using the scan to option on the front panel of the printer.

try scanning from hp solution center installed in your computer.

try scanning from mspaint. to do so, open paint and click on "file-->from scanners and camera".

how did you installed the driver. have you got the correct cd to install the printer in windows vista???

if not that may be the problem. the printer can print and copy well as you are having the drivers which will work in win vista. but for the scanning functionality you need to get the cd to install the printer in windows vista. you can download it online.

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-47767-1&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=428800&os=2093&lang=en

the above link will help yu to download the win vista software and drivers for this particular printer.

Thanks and regards
