HP Deskjet 2514: Start button / stop flashes when I try to scan HP Deskjet 2514

I had a problem where my printer would not prevent printing, even though I cancelled it.  I watched and followed these instructions.

From the desktop, hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run window, type services.msc and press to enter.  Scroll down to the print spooler service, right click and select Properties, then click the Stop button.  Now search for C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS, then delete the work inside this folder - you may need to click a command prompt to get the authority to open the PRINTERS folder.

Restart the computer and you should find that the documents have been deleted.

I didn't know that one to remove, so I deleted everything in the folder.  Now, my printer prints, but whenever I try to scan something, my power button flashes and it won't scan.   Help, please!

Hi @Donna924,

I read your post and see you were able to solve the problem for print jobs would not cancel, but now you are unable to scan. I'd love to help you.

Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

Download and run the print and Scan Doctor, he will diagnose the problem and could solve it automatically. This software will also troubleshoot jobs stuck in the queue, which you could use in the future if the problem persists.

What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)

If you appreciate my efforts, please click on the "Thumbs up" button below.

If there is anything else I can help you, let me know. Thank you.
