I can only scan from "Paint" and not from HP Software ?

I have an HP 6500 E710n-z all-in-one wireless printer and scanner. my operating system is win.7 64bit. I am able to do wireless printing but I now have to use "Paint" to do scanning. Not to long ago I was able to click on the HP icon and go to scan and it would scan and save in almost any format. I'm sure I have clicked on the wrong place somewhere, but now what do I do?

                                HELP>  Thank you in advance,Nokie

Re: I can only scan from "Paint" and not from HP Software ?

Is the scan short cut no longer on your desktop or does it no longer function after clicking it?

Are there any error messages?

 

As a last resort, you may want to uninstall, then re-install your drivers from here.
