My HP LaserJet 3055 All In One does not scan using Windows 7 - 64bit.

[kmsbc]

I lost the ability to scan to .pdf when I upgraded my PC.  My old machine was Windows 7, 32-bit.  The new is Windows 7, 64-bit.  Yes; I have the LaserJet 3055.

If you read the HP Drivers support site, it instructs users to install the Windows Vista full solution.  That set of drivers provides the full features of the LJ 3055 in the Windows 7 -32 bit environment.  But, the drivers page specifically states it cannot be used in the 64-bit environment.

If I hook my 3055 up to my Win7 64-bit PC via USB to scan, can I still have it sit on my ethernet network for network printing?

Here is how I solved this solution which is really not pretty but it works. I have Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bit. VM Ware offers free version of their virtual machine for personal use. Luckily I still have my XP install disk. So by loading XP on my virtual machine I was then able to down load the HP 3055 software and utility for XP. I am able to use the full network functionality on my virtual machine and simply copy my scanned files back to my Windows 7 desktop. Many thanks to http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/11060/create-an-xp-mode-for-windows7-home-versions-and-vista/ for a great article which then led to my ultimate solution. Note for those on Windows 7 Professional: Microsoft offers a download for a virtual machine and free version of XP mode. My solution is for those who are on the home edition.

Yes, you can scan a document to a bitmap.  But, you cannot scan to Adobe.

also got error message 'please insert originals in automatic document feeder and please retry again' when scan thought network, even used Win7 32-bit scan function, even using "Vista service pack 2 compatability option" install successfully.

No matter for program HP Scan, Windows Scan and Fax and MS Paint, all shown above error.

Hi,

Is the printer connected to your PC by USB or network?

By using USB connection, you may scan using the Windows Fax and Scan software integrated into your OS.

Scanning through a network connection unfortunately supported on Windows7 32 bit only, as you  may find listed within the About network scanning section below:
