I had HP Officejet Pro L7580 set to ask me which

Scan from the ADF of the printer.

Cobbled together a MS scan option that works with the L7580. Not very seamless but I'm scanning, viewing, saving and emailing OK.
Still wish I could get the darn L7580 to work via the "scan" button!

Try scanning from the solution center. If successful, check the scan button settings if you can see applications available on the 'Destination List'. Add all the application to the right side. Close the solution center and try to scan.

You need to update the front panel button settings from Solution center or HP Director or you canuse these steps toscan without HP software.

First you have to do a Level 3 un-install. Do this by inserting the original disk that came with the printer.

go to "start" then "run" then type

e:\Util\CCC\Uninstall_L3.bat (or whatever drive you put the disk in)

This will uninstall the program completely from your computer.

Go to hp's website and download the hp basic feature package for IT professionals. Open the readme file and follow the instructions to install the program from the command line. Make sure your anti-virus software is turned off!

I just did this yesterday. It doesn't install a huge program on the computer that really slows it down. Plus it doesn't install all of the useless **** like customer participation program and **** like that.

You will be able to scan directly from Microsoft Word or any other program that has a scan feature. To scan from word (2003) go to "insert" then "picture" then "from scanner or camera" and follow the prompts. It works perfectly for me now. This was after many, many months of having the same problem you are having.

Follow these steps to correct the problem:

The L7580 is not meant to be set up as a scanning device on a network. This unit can only function properly as a USB connected device to have all the features work. Also, for the software to install with out problems, all other All in One software fro previous HP printers need to be removed. Once we did that and did clean install using USB only then did it work.
