This is a scanner problem not a printer problem. Typical - useless support.

Mine is exactly the same. Did you solve it? Mines brand new, never scanned anything yet. Might throw it out the window.

Why is it you support people pretend you cannot read?
What a ridiculous thing to say after the previous posts.
You are wasting everybodies time!

TheFUSE,

You have not mentioned if you have done any troubleshooting on your printer, nor have you stated if you have read anything that is being posted to you. You clearly stated you had an issue with your scanner, that is why we have suggested to you the proper scanning document.

 I suggest you call tech support seeing as you stated it was a new printer.

I have the same coloured banding as the original poster.
Somehow I don't think a speck of dust or a quick wipe down of the glass bed would cause that.
There are many many posters out there with the same screen shots. This is a common inherent fault with HP.
I will just throw it away as soon as the printer starts playing up and buy another make. It's really not worth wasting any more time trying to get to the bottom of this fault.

 I have the same problem. I tried to follow the link to trouble shoot but it took me to an error page. How do I fix this?

Is there a solution? Mine is doing the same thing and it is brand new. First time ever scanning anything.
