    New HP Pavilion notebook computer with VISTA + new HP F380 printer; works fine when copying or printing from the Internet or from Word or from emails but won't print Excel documents & won't scan (gives a little hiccup then does nothing) -- no error message, just nothing. No effect from rebooting, disconnecting & reconnecting all plugs, new ink cartridges, different documents nor changing Excel documents from Office 2007 format to old 2003-2006 format.

    F380 HP deskjet doesn't scan when I hit the scan button.

  • LATHESON Apr 29, 2008

    i have the exact same problem. When i press the scanning button nothing happens and only the power button icon startes to blink for about a minute and then stops.



    I think its because i have Microsoft Vista Home Edition.

    I had the F380 working fine on my old laptop (Dell) but when I bought
    anew laptop (HP Pavilion tx2117cl) it doesn't scan. I want to scan a
    document and send it by email to someone.
    This was easily done on the
    Dell - the nice HP window would pop up and I was sailing. Now, nothing
    happens.
    When I tried loading the drive (by cd) onto my new laptop's
    hard drive it wouldn't receive it. (My new laptop is running Vista -
    might be the problem) I had to first get an update from Microsoft and
    then download the driver through the internet.

    I really need to have
    this scanner working so I can scan and send documents daily. Thanks.

    Hi



    I need to know your operating systems to fix the problem and find the solution. I think you have Widows XP Home edition/Service pack1/?Lower than this editions. If you upgrade your OS or update your OS by connecting to the internet if you have licensed OS. This will resolve your problem I think.



    Regards

Plustek Optipro 9636T - working under Windows 7.

If you scanner only has Win XP drivers, then you have only two choices as those drivers wont work on WIN 7. One is to buy a new scanner, as you have already suggested. The other is to create a virtual machine, load WIN XP onto it, and then install the scanner drivers on the virtual machine. This should work fine as I do it for a piece of software that only works on WIN XP, however it is a bit of a inconvenience to use.

Scanner wont scan

Try using the Lexmark Productivity Studio. To access that, on your computer, click on Start > All Programs > Lexmark 2600 Series > Lexmark Productivity Studio.

If that doesn't show up as an option, install the Lexmark Productivity Studio using the installation CD of your printer.

1992 pontiac bonniville dies & wont start , sets a while then starts like normal. doesnt matter cold or hot

When it doesn't start check for fuel pressure, spark and injector pulse. If you got access to a scanner that could read live data check if you get an RPM reference. Check and report your findings.

My car wont start the battery is fine dont know what the problem is please help

IF the car cranks over but doesn't start you need to see if you have Spark and Fuel. IF it doesn't crank, check starter and related circuit, tapping on starter will sometimes help to get it rotating. Check all fuses, and make sure battery terminals are clean and tight. Have someone or yourself connect a scanner DTC reader and see if you have any engine computer faults. If manual transmission make sure your clutch pedal switch is not missing the bushing. Aftermarket alarms can cause no starts also, but usually a "no-crank" situation.

?Scanner failure? error message

Usually this type of error message pops up when the scanner lamp isn?t warming up properly. This is what you should do: 1. Check if the lamp is on. 2. Unplug the scanner?s power supply and plug it back in. Try connecting it diretly to the wall. 3. If that doesn?t work: a. Unplug the unit?s power supply. b. Press ?cancel? and left arrow while reconnecting the unit. c. Release the buttons when the printer starts up. 4. Try scanning again. 5. If it doesn?t work, have it serviced.
