| | Re: Hp LaserJet 3050 scanner wont work....help!!!! The message usually means that windows does not see the scanner, or the scanner uses an OEM driver instead of built in windows support. There may also be a problem that is caused by the scanner driver not being installed. A possibility is to use the trial version of Viewscan from Hamrick Software to see if the scanner works with it.

Home Basic, Home Premium, Business ... or Ultimate? This is important because the Home versions do not contain the scanning and faxing utility of the other versions of VISTA. Please give answers to these questions since I don't understand how you can fax or copy without using the scanner yet you say you get an error message when scanning. Or are you successfully scanning and getting the error message? Hugh Windows XP Service Pack 3 build 2600 VAOS Off Line Reader 6.3 build 1 |
