Go into your "printer properties" and make sure that someone hasn't inadvertantly changed the page settings.

SOURCE: HP ScanJet 5590 and OS 10.3.9

I would do a manual uninstall and make sure to do the device utility at the end and follow the directions step by step from this link.

Redownload the drivers and make sure they are for 10.3.9 and the full feature software to make sure the right drivers are going to be installed.

Also I would unplug the unit while it is on and plug in directly to the wall to make sure not a power issue. The printer does not share power well and pulls it in large amounts - when it can't get it it throws little power fits and sometimes will not turn on at all or it gives error messages.

SOURCE: Blank Scan from HP Scanjet 5590 Flatbed Auto Feed

Scanning is possible in 'Text' mode and 'Picture' Mode. In text mode, which is simple 'Black & White", this can happen, particulalrly if the text is in color. Either you increase the contrast settings or scan the document in Grey/color and convert it to B&W using the software. By this you need not check if there is output!. ( I am assuming that otherwise the scanner is performing okay). File size in B&W is very small as compared to Grey/color.

Is there any software for scanning can use with this scanjet 5590 with win 7...it seems i cant install hp photo and imaging software on my win 7 machine..help me..

Try downloading the latest software from HP: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNameId=377691&lang=en&cc=us&taskId=135&prodTypeId=15179&prodSeriesId=377689

They list Win7 versions of the full software issued Dec 11, 2009, as well as just the basic drivers. However, if you installed the scanner using the generic drivers in Win7, you should be able to scan using Windows Fax and Scan or Paint. (In Paint you bring in the images as if they were on a camera.)

I hope this helps.

HP Solution Center does not recognize the scanner anymore... We are operating on a Windows 7 system... the drivers had to be downloaded from the internet because the cd that came with the printer was for...

I had the same problem and solved it. I was using HP Solution Centre to run my HP Scanjet 5590 on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit without problems. Then I ran the scanner using Windows Fax and Scan, but didn't like it, so went back to HP Solution Centre - whereupon the scanner was not recognised.
After hours of reinstalling software etc etc, without success, I suddenly noticed four device icons on the left hand side of HP Solution Centre. These were labelled (when hovered over with the mouse) hp scanjet 5590, hp scanjet 5590 #2, hp scanjet 5590 #3, hp scanjet 5590 #4. Only the top icon was active, but when I clicked on any of the four it moved to the top.
Clicking on hp scanjet 5590 #2 gave me a working installation once more - problem solved. No doubt the multiple icons arose from my desperate attempts to try different USB ports.
