Common problems HP Solution Center not working : Adobe Flash Player Error and Unable to scan
We would like to share some of the most frequently asked questions about HP Solution Center not working : Adobe Flash Player Error and Unable to Scan.
HP Recommended

Can only scanner or  printer scanner scan or copy or print our fingerprints? Like if we touch scanner glass or printer scanner glass then that can scan or copy or print our fingerprints?

 

Or if we scan fingerprints page then we can print or copy fingerprints from that fingerprints page?

 

I am asking these question related to our fingerprints privacy. And these questions for any brand or type scanner or any brand or type like LaserJet and inkjet etc printer scanner.

I just tested with my M577 and would say that it is highly unlikely that you would be able to scan fingerprints from casual contact without using something such as black power to accentuate the whorls of a fingerprint.

You mean not possible to scan fingerprints and what is "black power to accentuate the whorls of a fingerprint"?

I just used black powder as an example, you need something that would enhance the contrast. If you are wanting to try and take fingerprints there is likely better ways to do it.

I am asking when scanner glass get our finger prints then that scan image or scan output can provide paper print of our fingerprints or when we open that scan image or scan output in computer screen or mobile screen then anyone can see that finger prints in computer screen or mobile screen?
