That's because it's not a printer problem. The scan options are in your computer in the scanning software for your machine. Before you can scan you need to be connected to your computer with scan software running to tell it how to scan, what you're scanning, and where to send and save the image you scan.

do a complete uninstallation of the printer software.download the software from hp.com then try installing that

IN XP
click on start and select control panel.
in control panel on the top left hand click on switch to classic view if is not there dont worry.
Next Goto printers and faxes and then right click the printer icon and select printing prefrences and in the advanced tab make sure that duplex printing is enabled.

IN vista
Click on start
in the start search box type "printers" and click on ok.
Single left click your printer and then single right click your printer icon and single left click the option that says printing prefrences.
in the advanced tab make sure that duplex printing is enabled.Now try to give the scan command and it will work as long as the paper is fed in from the adf it will be better

see if the didgital imaging monitor is running on the system tray...you can check for the solution centre if it is installed frm c:/program files/HP/bin/hpqscnvw.exe.....see if it works....else you can download the full feature s/w and drivers for your printer from

Should be in the HP print centre software on your computer

I have had a similar problem that appeared soon after an automatic HP software update over the internet. I solved the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling the HP software that came with the CD. I inserted the CD and ran the de-install for only the program that controlled print and scan and then re-installed the software for print and scan. Straight afterwards, the scanning started to work again

I HAVE IMAC 24'= 10.5. O.S. (1) I SEND A DOC. TO THE C7280 it says "PRINTER READY" Then after a few seconds the printer goes to 'PAUSE'?   I have uninstalled & reinstalled 2x.  Any suggestions? Thank you for your help. Marsha :) :) [email protected]
