My mfc 3360C will not scan to my computer.  my ink is almost empty, which would prevent the printer to scan?

Hi Jmaccoux,

·         What happens when you try to scan? You get no matter what error code or error message?

Empty ink does not prevent the printer from the analysis of the files or documents.

Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

Method 1: I suggest you to uninstall the currently installed drivers and install compatible drivers with the operating system from the link of the manufacturer provided below. Check if installation of the printer from the link below drivers pass solve you the problem.

MFC - 3360C

Method 2: If the steps above do not help, unplug the printer from the computer, uninstall the drivers for printer and re - install the same thing again.

To uninstall the drivers,

a. open programs and features by clicking on the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking programs, and then clicking programs and features.

b. Select a program, and then click Uninstall. Some programs include the ability to modify or repair the program in addition to uninstall, but many simply offer the option uninstall. To change a program, click change or repair.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  • Officejet 8600 Windows 7 62 bit dell computer will not scan. HP P

    Will not scan new Officejet 8600 all-in-one.  7, 62 bit, computer operating system Dell.  A ran HP print and Scan doctor.  Upon arrival of the pilot, had me unplug the printer, then restart the computer.  Upon restart, received message "this tool could not solve the problem, even after a reboot.  Go to the HP customer care for help to solve this problem.  Function copy and printer works.  Connected by USB only.  Help, please. Thanks in advance.

    No problem.  I'm always happy to help you.  Looks like you might be on the right track with the cable.  What you are discribing it seems it's a communication problem, more of a problem with the drivers.  Make sure that you do not use a USB cable that is more than 6 feet (2 m).  Anything more than that and the loss of signal can cause problems like this.  Let me know what happens.

    Hi @bhjat,

    It may be a good idea to test the ability of computers to analyze. Try using one of the following methods to scan;

    1. Place the item you want to scan on the scanner glass, or load in the ADF (ADF) documents, if your printer has one.

    Hello Plypal

    You can try the HP scan diagnostic utility first, but in general the failure of the Scanner is a hardware problem that must be repaired. You can find the number of the media on the link below as well as the link to the Diagnostic utilities.

  • 2210 all-in-one will not scan

    I recently bought a new laptop - ASUS with Windows 7 64 bit. AIO drivers loaded very well except for a couple of files that I ignored. Device will print but will not scan and the annoying message "an error has occurred with the scanning device. Please make sure that the scanning device is properly connected and try again. "can't stop appear or not, I use the device.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software several times now. Even two files have a problem, but otherwise all the print functions work well. I have yet to test the ability to fax, but the unit will not scan and does not open a device icon or desktop HP Director.

    HI Black-Rhino,

    The pop up message is probably caused by the following software (software HP PSC & Office Jet). I want to uninstall this software using the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs, and then, when you connect your printer to the computer, Windows 7 detects hardware and automatically installs the correct driver. A notification lets you know when the installation starts and when it is completed. You are not required to download any software or insert the product CD.
