I am getting a General Failure message when using the HP Scan and Capture - has worked fine until about 2 weeks ago. Tried unplugging, turning off power, resetting, etc. No luck!

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

  • Did this happen after a recent window or software update?
  • Could you please share the picture of the error?
  • What's the application you are trying to print from? 

Keep me posted!

I just saw your message - sorry for the delay in responding. In answer to your questions - 

1) I am not aware of any recent update to software that triggered this

2) I am using HP Scan and Capture

 

For some odd reason - after not attempting to scan for several days - I tried to scan a document tonight so that I could send you a photo of the error message - and it scanned without a problem! I do not understand this, as I changed nothing in settings and had tried - without success - to scan several documents over a period of 7-10 days, and kept getting the error message. I will reach out to you if it happens again.
