HP Laserjet m1005 mfp
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I'm using HP LaserJet M1005 MFP all in one printer on Windows 7 64bit.  When i try to scan a document it gives me an error message Sti Error! Video initialize error on my coputer screen. I have re-installed the printer drivers but the problem still persists. I have also used HP Print and Scan Doctor and restarting the device from power cable, this also did not work. I connected it to another computer with windows 7 64bit and it worked perfectly.

 

There is however no issue copying or printing only when I try to scan.

 

PLEASE HELP!!!

Hello Izharul,

 

Please dont worry this issue could be resolved in minutes. 

Just follow the below steps:

 

>>> Go to C drive >>  Windows   >>  twain_32  >> Delete everything  Except "hpm1005" &  "wiatwain.ds"

 

 

Now try to scan you will not get the "Video Initialse error"

 

 

Hope this helps you.
