    I'm scanning about 11,000 35 mm slides (made since 1966; 8000 scanned so far). Everything worked great through early 2006 (last scanning event). When I resumed the next batch (Jan 2008) the color was very green and resolution was low. Normal settings, etc. didn't help. Same computer; no changes in HW or OS. Failing any new ideas, I'll reinstall the SW. Ideas?

    I work in a school and we have multiple scanners doing this: blue-green coloration to all scanned images.

    Preview scan is greenish blue and text or picture is "pixelated", blocky looking. Final scan is the same.

    I have the same problem. It doesn't occur every time and sometimes the blue-green background is in the form of wide horizontal bars. I have re-installed the software and have tried unplugging the power and the USB but this did not solve the problem.

I solved my problem by simple re-boot. Unplug scanner power and USB for several seconds then replug. This solves a large percent of such problems. I wasted a lot of time before I did this. mike123456

L want to scan a document with hp office jet 4355 how do l get scaning option from my computor

1.Turn on your computer and wait for it to boot up, then turn on your printer.
2.Locate the " HP Image Director " icon on your computer and double click it.
( This icon was placed there when your printer was installed on your computer )
3. A screen will appear showing the scanning options available on your printer.
4. Place your document or picture on the printer's glass top.
5. From the HP Director screen, click on the appropriate button to start the scanning operation.
The scanner will perform two passes, the first; is to preview your document or picture and to
make changes, if necessary, the second; is the final acceptance of the document or picture
and save it on your computer.
All scanned pictures can be viewed in the HP Photo Gallery and the My Pictures folder
Documents can be viewed in the My Documents folder.
I hope your scanning goes well.
