When I try to scan to my computer I get an error message of no scan options refer to device documentation

There is a 'white paper' available on HP's website that specifically addresses this error message. I'm providing the link for you that will take you directly to that page:

Please read it and maybe print it out for reference... it explains what you need to do and THE ORDER you need to do it in. This should solve your issue...

Good Luck!

Hewlett-Packard specifically documents how to deal with this error here:

Try using widows paint. Look in windows accessories off the start program menu. If you open windows paint, look for open file from "Scanner or Camera". Most likely you can get the scanner to work again in Vista. Otherwise...try Vuescan scanner software. I think you can get a free trial period online and it should also work. You'll have to pay for that if you like it.

I had this problem also and came to find out that in order to scan, you have to go into your "PAINT" and go to "FILE" and scroll down to "FROM SCANNER OR PRINTER" and then follow the instructions. It works!

on your computer go to hp solution center..
under that go to settings..
then scan button settings..
over there add all options to the right side..
then try..

>open solution center icon on your desktop
>go to settings and check scan options

oh This is a simple solution open up the hp solution centre icon or the hp director icon whichever your printer software has on the computer.
Then click on settings.
point to scan settings and click on scan to setup and on all the items on the left hand side select them and move them to the right hand side and click on the ok button or the update the device button and you will not face this issue anymore.
your printer software should be installed so that you dont get this error message anymore

Use thunmdrive then can scan

This particular error message is in regards with the software of the printer. Its either your printer is not communicating with the computer software for scanning or your firewall is blocking the software. But before we proceed with any troubleshooting steps why don't you check if you have hp solution center or hp director in your computer. If you have any of this two softwares try to scan usig it. If it will have an error message try to send any feedbacks

I just went to www.hp.com and typed in "no scan options" in their search field at the top of the screen. You can find even more help though if you drill down through your specific product.

Please let me know if this helps a little...
