    I've downloaded the software off the internet (though my printer has been working all along, except for the scan function).  I've checked and the download did not include scan function.

I don't have a solution but I do have a problem. I have never used my scanner and I need to scan something for work. I am not sure how to do this. I see that you can insert the paper from the back side, I push scan but nothing happens. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

HP OfficeJet 4215 All-In-One InkJet Printer

When downloading drivers from HP's website it is important to remember one thing!
You MUST turn off any anti-virus software that you have on your PC/Laptop.
If you don't they will not be downloaded correctly.
If you don't the drivers will not be downloaded correctly and you will continue to have issues.

Scan using the HP OfficeJet 4215 Printer

The problem is with Windows Vista...it does not recognize the scan button when you touch it on the scanner. There are two ways around this:
Go to Programs / Windows Fax & Scan / Click new scan / click file and then click scan
OR
Go to Accessories / Paint / Cick File /click from scanner or camera / click scan

Hp officejet 4215

Hello sonyamac,

You can download the software directly from the manufacturer and install it without the CD. Go to www.hp.com/, find and click Software & Driver Downloads, select Download drivers and software, type officejet 4215 in the box and press enter. Select which officejet matches yours: 4215, 4215v or 4215xi (you can find that info on a label attached around your printer. Sometimes the model is only described as CXXXXA format. If that is all you got, go back to the prior page and type that model instead of officejet 4215. You should reach a page where you select which operating system you are using, click on it and on the next page you can select which software you want to download. After saving your download, just open the program, follow the installation instructions and you should be ready to print in no time. Hope this helps.
