I've got a all-in-one printer of HP LaserJet M1120 MFP. When I switch it on the screen shows "Scanner Error 20". And I cannot use the scan function. It can print when connected to computer.
I've read about the <user guid> but it didn't help. So how can I fix it up? Thanks!

So I understand, the problem "Error 20" is caused by problems in the flat cable to the scanner reader.
To solve ... Just changing the flat cable, it is necessary to access the guts of it and on the side.
This requires knowledge of how to disassemble the equipment and a new flat cable.
I recommend looking for a technician to do so.
And forgive me for my bad English.

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer.

Hi ,
I have HP laserjet M1005 MFP and i get "Scanner error 20". I took the printer to HP authorised center in Chennai and they told they will change the scanner unit which will cost Rs 3000/- approximately. So stupid, seems they will not do any troubleshooting and just change the whole scanner unit. Unfortunately. warrantly expired in my case. so i took it back without fixing. 😞 ... Do anyone have solution for this ? thxs !
