You might have lost your drivers. Use your install disk and reinstall them. If not go to your owners manual and find out how to reset the printer to factory settings. Sorry, but thats all I have to help you.
Cheers and good luck

Unplug and replug the printer power cable if the issue still persists call in to hp at 1800 474 6836 and ask the representative for an upgrade and go in for either

the photosmart 7280,photosmart

6380 or the photosmart 8180.

You will get it at a 50%

discounted rate.Its called a

refurbished printer but the

actual scenario is that if

wallmart purchases 100

printers and realises they

needed 99 they send one back

to hp and then our factory

test it before sending it out

to the customer but it has

never been used before.
trust me this is the best

option.I work for HP.
call in and hope you get me on

the call.If the printer is in

warranty then hp will try a

couple of troubleshooting

steps and if they dont work

then they will replace the

printer free of cost. Cauz this could be a hardware problem

hey i also had this type of problem. but i solved it and hope it will solve yours too.
first of all uninstall all ur hp drivers and softwares related to the hp printer. then restart your pc. now disconnect ur printer with ur computer and turn it off and again on after 15 secs.
now insert the cd which i have got with the hp printer in the cd-driver of ur pc and install the driver.
after the installation is complete, connect ur printer, but do not remove ur cd.
then start scanning, and if it will again ask for installing driver, u dont have to worry it will install it from the cd.
this would surely help u, if problem persists, please tell me.

Copy&paste it in a browser!

None of the leds are flashing or indicating the power.
First Possible solution is change power cable or put the one which is already working Cable. If Its not getting power Check the fuse of Printer. If nothing Works Consult to service center as it seems to be under Warranty before doing any manipulation in the circuit.

Does it scan to pc with the line?
