My scanner on my printer isn't scanning the whole page, it separates it into different pictures so I end up with 7 images of different parts of the page when what i want is it to scan the whole picture as a whole!! How do I solve this??

There is no scanning of a word document - you are scanning an image. If that image is a page with words printed on it or a picture , it doesn't mater to the scanner, to it all are pictures. So in the end you have a picture of the scanned image - in your case a picture of the page. Since you can't edit a picture with word you must convert that picture into an word document. For that you use an OCR program http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition This printer has an OCR program in it, but you must activate and guide it yourself, it won't do the job automatically. To learn how to use it launch the installed HP Solution Center from your pc, it's a part of the driver that should have been installed with it.

To do this will take a few steps.

1. You need to install a PDF printer driver on your computerfirst. There are quite a few freeware PDF writer programs on the Internet youcan download one such as CutePDF.
To download Cutepdf PDF printer driver (freeware) click onthis link :- http://www.cutepdf.com/
2. Scan the first page then click on File - Save the image as a jpg file Eg. image1.jpg

3. Repeat the scan the next page and save the image file Eg. image2.jpg

4. Repeat step 3 for the other pages.

5. Close the scanner when finished scanning.

6. Open a Word document then place each image file on a new page in the Word document

7. Save the Word document (not necessary).

8. Click on File - Print then select CutePDF printer (or your PDF printer driver) and save the PDF file. This PDF file will contain the multiple pages of the scanned pages.

Reduce image resolution and try again

This is easily accomplished using Kodak AIO Home Center v5.3:

I had this problem too - then downloaded new drivers and software here:  http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=2613&modelid=9722#DownloadDetailAct

You need to re-install the drivers, then use the MP Toolbox software, and play with the "scan mode"
Good luck!
