Issues on HP Scanjet Scanner

Hello Morgan The issue could be due to 2 reasons 1. Physical connectivity issue – Ensure USB port used is working and the system is able to detect the connection on the USB port. Check for the USB cables. Check the scanner in standalone mode. i.e if it is a printer cum scanner, then check whether you are able to print from your system. Else connect the scanner to another PC. If it works well, then the issue is with your PC, and scanner is fine. 2. To check the issue in PC, connect the scanner to your PC Go to START ==> Run and then type regedit Registry Editor will be opened. Take a backup of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE by exporting it to desktop. It is a backup, to restore default, you can double click on the file stored in desktop. Go to ==> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlClass Search and find out registry subkey containing Imaging Devices. Remove UpperFilters and LowerFilters from its subkey OR inside its subfolder. Then restart your system. Windows will load scanner drivers now. Hope this would solve the issue.
