hello. scanning requires a USB cord that connects the printer and the computer. Wireless printers do not scan in wireless mode. Once you hook up the usb wire, click on your computer start button, then all programs, control panel, scanners and cameras.... Regards, Joe

Probably a driver problem. The solution for Windows XP or earlier versions of Windows is to go to the HP website and download the driver for the printer. For Windows Vista there is no driver that enables scanning. The workaround is to open Paint, select:
All Programs-->Accessories-->Paint
To import the scanned image, select:
File-->From Scanner or Printer
In the Select Device window, select your printer and click OK. In the Scan Using HP..... window, select a color option and click Scan. Wait for the image to be scanned into Paint. Then you can manipulate the image using Paint or save it.

You need some sort of photo editing program such as MS Paint or Paint Shop or any other imaging software. Open the program and click on Import. It will ask you which device or which TWAIN device you'd like to import from. Click on your scanner and you should be able to start scanning.

Vista?
