Scanning problem

[dguyaux]

My printer is hooked up to our home net work with an ethernet cord.  I can print to it easily, but scanning requires running the HP print Doctor 5.0.6 nearly every time I want to scan.  I've re-installed the software yesterday and that didn't improve the scanning.  If I select the window Scan option it seems to work if I lay items on the flat bed of the scanner, which works only for a single page.  I'm trying to use the SP LaserJet MFP M227 HP Scan on my desktop to perform the scan when I encounter these problems.

Welcome to HP support community.

Check Windows Image Acquisition settings

• 1. In Windows, search for and open View local services .

• 2. In the Services window, scroll down the list and find Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) .

• 3. Look at the Status and Startup Type values.

  • If the status is Started or Running and the Startup Type is Automatic, WIA is running correctly. Skip to the next step.

    

  • If the status is Disabled or no status displays, right-click Windows Image Acquisition (WIA), click Properties, click the General tab, select Automatic from the Startup type dropdown menu, and then click Start.

    If the Start button is grayed out, go back to the Services menu, make sure Remote Procedure Call, Shell Hardware Detection, RPC Endpoint Mapper, and DCOM Server Process Launcher are running and set as Automatic, and then start WIA.
