My Kodak ESP 7 wont scan to my computer

Every time I try to scan a document to my computer the printer says it is scanning when it is actually not doing anything. the little screen will say 'scanning...' but then there is no noise and nothing comes up on my computer. it stays on 'scanning....' until i press cancel because it is not working.

SOURCE: Solid black line when scanning or copying from KODAK ESP-3

Get a damp soft cloth and clean the scanner glass. If that doesn't resolve the issue there is a chance the scanning unit itself is damaged.
Let me know.
Cheers, Chris

SOURCE: My Kodak ESP 3 Won't Scan

Did you install the full software driver for the all-in-one? The drivers are here: http://www.kodak.com/global/mul/service/downloads/DownloadLookup.jhtml?pq-path=9103/12666/12667&product=EKN034524

Next try a new USB cable and plugging the unit into a different port. If you use a print server or USB hub, try connecting directly to the computer. Scanners need bi-directional communication with the computer and thus are likely to have issues even if the printer doesn't.

Can the scanning software on the computer initiate the scan? (That is in the full software package. Alternatively Vista came with Paint and File> Import from Camera or Scanner > New Scan.)

I hope this helps.

Make sure any other scanners are disconnected from your computer. I had a problem with the scanner in the Kodak ESP 7 AIO printer. Kodak advised me to disconnect my other scanner. After I disconnected my Canon scanner, I was able to use the Kodak ESP 7 scanner.

I just bought A Kodak esp 3250 series AIO printer. I can print from computer, copy and all that but whenever I try to scan to computer or even preview scan I get a error saying :An error occurred while...

Try a new USB cable. Scanners require bidirectional communication with the computer and thus can fail when printer itself works. (If you use a print server or USB hub, try a direct connection.) Also try changing USB ports.

Another thing to try is to remove the TWAIN driver and reinstall it. This requires the original software CD from Kodak.
1. From your computer desktop, click Start > Run. (In Windows 7, type run in the search box then click on Run.)
2. Type %windir%, then click OK.
3. Double-click twain_32.
4. Right-click Kodak, then select Delete.
5. Insert the KODAK All-in-One Printer Software CD into the appropriate drive, then go to D: > printer > scanner.
NOTE: The CD is indicated by D: above. The CD drive may be a different letter on your computer.
6. Double-click aioscannr.msi, then follow the instructions to remove it.
7. Go to D: > printer > scanner, then double-click aioscannr.msi, and follow the instructions to install the file.
8. Open Home Center Software:
a. Select Scan Documents and Pictures.
b. Scan a document.

Unfortunately, if the error persists, the scanner may need service. Contact Kodak: http://www.kodak.com/go/contact .

I hope this helps.

Scanner doesn't work

You need to have the Home center software installed on your computer.The home center software has scanning drivers of the printer.If the printer says scanning,may be the drivers on computer are not taking commands from printer. Kindly mention the name of printer.Kodak has recently launched a new version of software 4.2 . It usually solves the issues relating to scanning and printing from computers.Download the latest version of software from www.kodak.com/go/downloads.
