Can't get scanner to work.

My 1310 HP printer/scanner/copier all of a sudden will scan. I get this message: Computer cannot detect the scanner or camera. It has worked fine for 2 years. I have uninstalled and re-installed the software to no avial. Help!

What you need to change is your screen resolution to either 800 x 600 or to 1024 x 768 (in your desktop settings)

You will NOT have to restart your computer either.
Just restart your scanner program and you can start scanning.

At least that's my assumption, though you might have bad cables, or an incompatible program.

Suddenly stopped scanning and gave error message that scanner not connected. This is not true. Went on HP website. Useless. Says there is no scanner attached to computer. Yes there is. I have used it for...

The scanner has a separate driver as does the printer portion. They are installed separately. Download the scanner driver or re-install the disc that came with your printer.

The scanner suddenly stopped working - the error

try turning it off and on, if this doesnt help un plug cable and restart PC.
then plug cable back and and see if the PC will detect it then try again.
if the PC doesnt detect it then try different cable and if this doesnt help you will need to contact manufacturer.

Scan to computer not working

Google, enter "HP Photosmart C5180 All-in-One" and you can reinstall the scanner into computer...free.  Under the black apple in the upper corner of screen find "recent Items" and you will find the Photosmart Studio where the scanner icon is used to scan and create a file in thecomputer.

Scanner Isn't Working

Hi,
Well first make sure the scanning surface is clean.
If you're on XP, you could try the various patches/updates from the site here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=228&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=77375&lang=en

You can also scan and copy in Vista by using Windows Photo Gallery.

1. Click on files tab at the top in Window Photo Gallery.
2. Click on import from camera or scanner.
3. Highlight your scanner icon (eg HP 1310) then click import.
4. New scan window will popup, now you can preview or scan using this basic looking Vista utility.

Hope that helps.
