HP Officejet J5780 scanner communication error

I have a HP Officeject J5780 on Vista Home premium. I have installed the software for this product and everything works except the scanner. I have unistalled and reinstalled the software many times but I still keep getting the error message that there is a communication issue with the scanner. I have researched, went to the device manage and everything is ok and enabled. Can anyone help with this issue. I do not know what else to try.

I had this problem too, and after a while just gave up on the uesless HP interface, and went to the simple but efficient Windows Fax and Scan program on the Start>Programs menu.

HP OFFICEJET J5780 HOW TO GET SCANNER TO WORK

To get the scanner working this is what you should do. First, do not install the software for Officejet All-in-one J5780. Instead of this, install HP Officejet All-in-one J5700, you can get it from the HP website. I do not know why but this software makes the scanner work. You can then install J5780 which will delete some of the old files but will keep the scan file on.

Scanning on hp j5780 officejet with vista home premium

click on start and in the start search box type devmgmt.msc
click on enter
in the device manager click on view and click on show hidden devices.
now check if you get a grey mark against your printer entry(when you click on the plus sign ) or against the imaging device if you do .
click on the plus sign before printers and imaging devices and right click the printer /imaging device entry if you get an option that says enable click on that and restart the printer and the computer and this should resolve your issue if this does not uninstall and re-install your printer software
