Change default scan source from Automatic Document Feeder to Flatbed Glass

[DJRMewzique]

Hi,

I very rarely use the Automatic Document Feeder and almost every time is start HPScan is comes up with the ADF selected. How do I reset the defaults so that Flatbed Glass will come up selected.  I don't get why it keeps trying to scan from the feeder when I pretty much only use the flatbed.

You really thought I didn't exhaust ALL my basic options before posting here?

Of course I tried that already.  I did ALL the basic, normal things before coming here.  And nothing has worked.  50% of the time I hit scan on my printer, it tries to scan from the feeder for no reason.  And then I have to open the app to scan instead.

So, if someone can offer a solution beyond the obvious ones I would have clearly and obviously already tried, that would be helpful.

Thank you for posting back. 

Let's try these steps to resolve the issue: 

Root level uninstall and reinstall printer drivers: 

• Go to Control panel – Programs and feature – Select all the HP Photosmart printer entries and uninstall them.
• Now go to Control panel – Devices and printer – Select all the printer entries and remove the device. 
• Then press the "windows key" + "r" to get the "Run" window open - Type "printui.exe /s" and press enter.
• Under print server properties, go to drivers - remove any entry there as well.
• Again, go to run window, type – “c:/programdata” – Go to Hewlett Packard folder, remove any printer-related folders & files.
