Should I trash my beloved scanner?

For years, I used my scanner faithful 6200.  I have used others, at work or with friends, and nothing could touch the WYSIWYG performance refined its software.  I have upgraded computers and, each time, was able to load my HP software... so far.  It seems that there is no support for this product on the Vista operating system.

I have an all-in-one with a built-in scanner.  It sucks compared to my 6200 c.  It is normal for documents and other, but cannot manage photos with the fine detail that I need, and he won't let me adjust brightness, contrast, etc., how can my 6200.  Now I need to scan hundreds of pictures and my all-in-one is not up to the task.

Any suggestions?  If I * should * replace a scanner perfectly fine because its software is no longer supported, the scanners are also good?

Hyperventilation,

Well, if you want to spend a few dollars check out Vuescan hamrick.com. It will work with Vista and the model of your scanner. I found over the years, it works better than the software provided by creators of scanner. I use it with an old IIcx HP and a Minolta film scanner.

    [Edited by: admin July 16 05 12:34]

    Hello

    I don't think you need to install or update the USB drivers. If the scanner is properly installed and recognized there must be another problem. In my opinion, you should try to use the scanner with another program. As far as I know, you can also use Microsoft word and try to import image from a scanner. If Office is installed on your device, try to import something in the word document.

  • Using the scanner rather than generic software WIA support PES 9

    Updated PES 9 a couple of weeks. Already got PSE6.  With PSE6, with my Canon LiDE90 scanner, when I chose import on the file menu and import selected from a scanner, I gives me the option to use the WIA interface or software compatible WIA Canon Scan Gear which has more controls. With PSE9, the only option when I select the LiDE90 is to use the generic Windows WIA driver.

    I can, of course, to use the Canon scanner software apart from PSE9 and send the file to PSE9 for editing. That works very well, but what I don't like about the digitization of this way, is that a temporary file should be created by the scanner software which is saved immediately and then load that into PSE9.

    With PSE6 when to use Scan Canon material in PSE6, the scanned image has been loaded in PSE 6 as a new image without title. If I chose to delete the scanned image, that I edited rather than save the file, there is no temporary file has been saved on the disk at all. I much prefer this work sequence.

    SOOOO... How can I get the Canon Scan Gear software optionally via the PSE9 file - menu import? I tried to reinstall PSE9 and reloaded the scanning Canon driver, too. No luck so far. Why Adobe would have FEWER options with a software upgrade?

    Technical details: Toshiba laptop running Vista 32 bit with all updates.

    If you need the TWAIN driver from Adobe, you must move it in the optional plug-in folder are in the folder plugins ol ' ordinary, as explained in the linked higher tech doc in this thread.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless printer: Always be streak on copies vertical white

    HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless printer: Still get a vertical white streak down the photos. I changed the yellow/black printhead. Only one aid note said I should try to clean the scanner glass. Where is the scanner glass, and how to do for her?

    Other options to get rid of the vertical line?  Thank you.

    Hello

    It sounds like a problem with the printer itself, because it is indeed a vertical GIS. A cartridge problem would cause a horizontal issue. You can tru is the cleaning of transport, stem from the metal bar that you see in the printer, and carefully clean the Strip transparant. This with a lot of attention that its rather delicate and if it breaks the device is ready for the trash.

  • How can I keep my HP1510 all-in-one to print the test pages as much?

    How can I keep my HP1510 all-in-one to print the test pages as much? My printer is connected to my laptop, and it seems that whenever I disconnect, want the printer print a test page when I reboot. I don't know where the option is to disable this option.

    Pages are likely alignment pages.  When a new cartrdige is installed the printer will print an alignment page which should be placed on the scanner glass and press the button of scan to complete the alignment process.  If the alignment is not complete it will repeat when the printer is powered suite or maybe at the end of print jobs.

    The alignment page will stop printing when the alignment process is complete.  See the page here for more information.

  • Almost every window in iTunes are blacked out. Only in a few cases, text is readable.

    There are (in Yosemite) I noticed that the basis of all the windows of my iTunes went black.  Only in the body of the summary pages section on safeguards is the text in a contrasting color. That and the view of songs from 'My music.'  Views of the album and individual playlists are readable in the main window (with grey text), but the background is always black. Anything either with a radio or checkbox button is a pure black.  So, essentially, iTunes is useless for anything but to listen who can I do with any device.

    This continued in my upgrade of the El Capitan, so I know it is something that has developed pain in my system.

    No idea what it is or how I can copy something again in the library to get my ability to do anything in iTunes back?  Or should I trash iTunes and make another installation, a new is not overridden by all that is wrong with the old?

    This only happens in iTunes?  Not in other applications like Mail or Safari?

    If it is only in iTunes, try to download the latest version of iTunes and install it again, from here

    https://www.Apple.com/iTunes/

    This problem affects the components of the application iTunes, not your iTunes library.  However, since there is something weird happens, it would be good to make a backup of your iTunes data.

  • The Airport Extreme 2 to died (light orange) 5 years

    A few days ago my MacBook pro let me know he could ' t locate the time capsule and hand't stored in more than a week.  I checked the other computers in the House, I discovered that they were all not finding time capsule not more.  When I checked the device the light was green, and all machines were connected to the wifi signal that he died.  I unplugged the Airport Extreme and gave him a minute or two and it reconnected.  I never heard the spin drive up so I guess the hard drive should have failed a few weeks ago.  After power cycling the light remains orange solid, and wifi no longer works.  Airport utility will not find the device.

    My questions are:

    Why if the wifi work until it's the power to bike after the hard drive failed?  The fact that the wifi does not work now shows that I should just trash and get a new one?

    Should I just install a new hard drive, if so where can I get the disk image format?

    Thank you for reading this!

    Why if the wifi work until it's the power to bike after the hard drive failed?  The fact that the wifi does not work now shows that I should just trash and get a new one?

    It worked because the TC was functional, even if the hard drive was not... If you open airport utility you should have seen a hard drive error, but he might have ignored, so... in fact the main light must have been orange flashing not green.

    The TC is designed to test the hard drive when starting... If it fails the TC does not start.

    You will have an indicators of solid orange color which is hard drive failure.

    If you open the TC you can replace the drive. See https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Apple_Time_Capsule

    Should I just install a new hard drive, if so where can I get the disk image format?

    Once you install the disk simply go to the tab of disc airport utility and erase the drive... which will set it up properly.

    One thing to consider is the economy... a TC 5 years really may not be worth a repair... power supplies can also go wrong.

    If it's a Gen3 and when you open it is brand Delta power, then it might be interesting to replace the drive... a Gen4 usually also would be worthwhile. Disk 4 Gen is WD green... and he might have lost format rather that died... you could so be able to simply delete it.

    Tell me the A1xxx of the base model and I can help you understand what to do... I've fixed hundreds of them.

    I look for a new version of your video card for the laptop driver and get installed it.  First of all - Dell - based on the serial number.  Go ahead and update your motherboard chipset, network, etc while there.  If that isn't helpthen, you should go to the source - the real manufacturer of the video card chipset.  Intel likely, may be nVidia or AMD (ATI).  Get the latest software/drive here and installed complete.

  • Error - "the CD key you entered is invalid" when trying to install the Windows XP computer.

    Original title: Windows XP CD Key can expire?

    My old machine with Windows XP installed should be trashed. I want to install Windows XP on a netbook Eee. The Win XP CD is a CR - ROM with the retail CD. It was given by my former neighbor who worked at Microsoft and purchased at a reduced price.

    Trying to install Windows XP, I had pop-up window "you entered the CD key is not valid. I installed Windows XP Home edition using this CD key several times on my old machine, to clean the operating system after a certain period of malware infection. The CD key is certainly valid.

    So what's happening? The CD key can expire after a certain number of years? Note that what's happening during the initial installation - before the first logon. There is no internet connection. So it is not possible for the installation check if this CD key is used elsewhere.

    I tried several times. Whenever I got this error in the installation step "installation of Windows.

    The message itself is that I quoted above "the CD key you have entered is not valid.

    These are the typical reasons, you would get such a message:

    1. the user enters in the key not associated with the retail disk but another key, usually on top of the COST of the PC sticker.

    2. at least one of the characters has been entered incorrectly. This could be because of user error or a faulty keyboard.

    Just to be sure: you use a real retail CD? Or is it a generic OEM CD that was bought in a store?

    A way around this problem is to use an XP SP3 integrated in a installation CD. If your CD is SP2 or earlier, you can create one on the scale of SP3, using a process called "slipstreaming". Then everything just when it's time to enter your product key, don't! Then you will see this window:

  • OfficeJet Pro L7580 will not hold settings network by hand... not visible on the network

    Yes... Once again... Another question about the famous OfficeJet Pro L7580 all in one.

    I can't write all the IP settings and get the machine to save.  No matter how many times I try, it's always defaults to "automatic" and when I print the network settings page I get all the relevant numbers as 0.0.0.0.  I tried the network diagnostic tool, I have read all the instructions, I am a network expert.  I searched this problem on Google and all I see is to throw this thing in the trash.

    I also downloaded the official patch from HP for Windows 7 64 bit network, but when I try to run this fix, it is said that the patch is not provided for Windows 7.

    Should I trash this thing or is there a fix. ?

    Thank you

  • Test HP PCS 1510 page

    Why my HP PCS 1510 aio always print a test page whenever it is turned on?

    The page you see is an alignment page.  It allows to print after you have inserted a new cartridge until the alignment is complete.  To complete alignment, the page should be placed on the scanner glass and press the button of scan (within a short time of printing).  Check your manual for more information.

  • Updates Windows 7 - stuck on 'check updates'...

    I have a HP desktop computer.  Running Windows 7 Home Premium.  Recently upgraded to the 10 Windows (while it was free).  Discovered that even after the analysis of compatibility says 'OK' I had to call Microsoft for more help and told me that my computer was not compatible.  Asked why the analysis said it was.  No real answer not followed.  Little has been said to restore to Windows 7.  After that I have known issues.  Before the update of window 10, this computer has been running great!

    in any case, I noticed recently that my computer is not updated.  When I go on ' check for updates ', it just stays on that.  The status bar does not move, but just on the 'check updates' for days.  The only way to stop it is to restart the computer.  But I know there are updates because my other computer is up-to-date (did not upgrade Windows 10 - but is currently running Windows 7).  So, I have sen the videos and articles on remove and clean up the folder "Software Distribution".  I did it several times and it DOESN'T WORK.  At one point, I decided to do a factory restore.  Took the computer to update 1.  At ran Windows Update and found 16 available updates and other things to seem to be good.  But noticed once the "Service Pack 1" has been downloaded and installed the Windows Update is blocked again.  So, I'm lost here.  What can I do?  Is there a solution?  Or should I trash this computer and buy a MAC?  Questions please ask.

    Help, please... Thank you!

    See this thread and perform the steps exactly.  I did the following steps on several computers and they work.
