How install HP LaserJet Color 2840 Networked Scanner on Windows 7 (64 bits) ?

This workaround is currently functioning for me. He's right that it's clunky and I'm not a fan of having that VM bothering me all the time, but it's the only solution I've found that functions for the moment. To my knowledge, there are drivers for Ubuntu that function though, or at least, so says a friend of mine. I can't verify that directly.

What do you mean by "Install XP Mode"?

Under Windows 7 Professional, you can readily install a Virtual Machine that will run Windows XP.  This is referred to as "XP Mode".  For more information and instructions on how to get it going, see Microsoft documentation (not wonderful) - just type "XP mode" into the Win7 "Help and Support" search box.  For a rough idea what is going on, see the Wikipedia article on Windows Virtual PC.  The straightforward package is not available under Windows 7 Home, though it looks from the Wikipedia article as if there may be a workaround if you have an XP licence available.

I did exactly. Install all the way, found the printer but keep repeat finding printer and not continue installing.

yraglac, sorry to hear it's not working for you.  It's a while since I did this (and I haven't had to go back to it - the solution seems to be stable once you've set it up), but I seem to remember something similar while I was working out a solution.  Try having a look at point 3 in my message above, dated 12-01-2011 01:44 PM - if I remember rightly that's what I had to do to fix a problem like this.
