Question about HP OfficeJet 7310 All-In-One InkJet Printer

HP Officejet 7310 All-in-One Scanner problem

Help! After a month of working wonderfully, I came into the office one day and the 7310 tells me I have to reinstall the HP software. I don't know what happened overnight with it. After re-install, scanner only works on the glass - no longer taking from the feeder. Also scanner pop-up message keeps saying it's busy. Everything else still works fine. Company IT is no help, contracted HP rep is worse - he broke my last HP officejet. Anyone have insight to this problem? Thanks!

Thanks Tonerman for trying to help! I should have added that I acquired this all-in-one from an employee that was laid off. IT doesn't keep track of equipment so packaging and receipts are history. Do you think this could be a firewall problem?

When I attempt to scan, 7310 says I have to install software before scanning will work. Worked fine for a year or more. All other functions work, and scanner works when accessed via browser.

I have exactly the same problem. I've reloaded that software several times. Has anyone found an actual solution? Taking it back is NOT going to solve the problem. I'm looking for a REAL solution such as a software patch or update.

I have the same problem with scanner, will not scan to computer. Tells me I need the software. Contacted tech support, told me where to go & install complete installation, didn't help. So I uninstalled everything & then went on line & reinstalled, nothing, same thing.

I had this problem with my 7310 and again with my L7780. Never got scanner on 7310 to work except from browser, but when I got my L7780, the CD that came with it would not install the scanner properly. I went to HP.com and downloaded the installation software (300+MB), installed the printer using that, and all problems were solved. You would think that HP could figure this out, but I gave up after hours on-line with them and more hours on the phone. Good luck.

My 7310 scanner always tells me to install or run HP software of this feature. I have installed the program disc that came with the printer. Everything else works.

Hi,
I would try uninstalling the software and deleting the printer. Then download and reinstall the latest drivers available from hp here:

HP office jet 7310 all in one. when trying to fax it says scanner failure. Turn off power and restart. This accomplishes nothing. Suggestions?

This means that there is an internal failure of some kind (e.g. the scanner is stuck). Be sure that the shipping lock has been removed and try again. HP is very good about support, try contacting them through their website or by phone.

Good Luck!

My Office Jet 7310xi scanner failure

Does it scan from either the doc feeder or from the flatbed itself?
Can you COPY a page?

Are you using the buttons on the printer, or do you work from HP director?
