My HP J5780 will not scan.

I can print out an alignment sheet, but when it tells me to scan the alignment sheet the screen reads 'no scan options, refer to device documentation to troubleshoot' but i dont have the 'device documentation'.

I had same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled, this time it did not help. Here is what I had to do to SCAN and it worked. It's just a few extra steps. Double Click "MY COMPUTER", You will see the SCANNER, Double Click "Office Jet J5700", it will Say Reading Picture. Then it automatically goes to "WELCOME TO SCANNER & CAMERA WIZARD", click NEXT. You will see 3 options: I chose Black and White Text, click NEXT. 1. Type Name of this group of pictures (type what you want to call your SCAN). 2. Select a file format, mine just said TIF (TIF Image) 3. Choose a place to save this group of picutres: Mine said: C:/Documents & Settings/Default/My Documents/My Scans And it worked, hope it works for you.

I have an hp officejet j5780 all in one and am struggling to get it setup for the 1st time. Installed cartridges & following the alignment procedures. 1st part where it prints from the bottom tray is fine...

Normal 0 Normal 0 Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off. I'd do both and when the CD software program asks you to connect the printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud

Not responding to PC instructions to print data

Hi,

You need to load the PRINTED ALIGNMENT PAGE on the scanner glass, then press on "OK" button. It should start scanning the alignment page. That way, you are completing the PROCESS of ALIGNMENT.

Thank you so much.
