500 PSC GETS STUCK ON WARMING UP WHEN I TRY TO COPY ME SAYS THAT THE SCANNER DOES NOT

My HP 500 CPS still print fine but when I try to scan something it fails. I turn on my computer and printer off a few times and it will scan. I thought it was a driver issue first of all them perhaps the cable. It has been getting worse and now it copies. I disconnect from the computer and try to copy it gets stuck on the warm up and then gives me the same error SCANNER FAILURE TURN OFF THEN ON. The light is on and it loads paper acts as a heat sensor is bad. I have a good rear electronic on the ground. Maybe someone could point me in the right direction. I really like this old printer and I am ready to spend time fixing it.

Thank you

Want to thank those who took the time to read my problem. I FIXED IT. On a forum someone talked about the problem of warming up and I realized that the only thing that needs time to prepare would be the light of the scanner. I disassembled the scanner Assembly cleaned the mirrors and that fixed it! Has been and still is a good SPC. In order to reduce the cost, I filled my cartridges.

I gave myself another problem. I uninstalled the drivers several times trying to solve the problem of the printer. Now I have additional drivers in device for printers 1284,4 Add-in Manager. No matter what I do XP reinstalls them. A few years I had back get a program installed at HP to clean the registry file so that I could do a clean install of my HP PSC 500 windows drivers. Now I can't find it. guess I didn't save TI - DAM! Been looking on the web site of HP have yet found. - PROGRAMME of INSTALLATION of ANY BODY GOT A LINK FOR HP.

THANKS AGAIN
