HP Officejet 6500 Scanner

[KHKELLYKS]

My scanner will run exactly one scan, with no problems.  If I try to scan another document, the scanner seems to function normally, "scan completed" and then a message pops up "Problem scanning. Something went wrong. Please try again." I try again, same message.  Help!

@KHKELLYKS, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I understand you are not able to scan more than 1 page. Let us try these steps:

Reset the printer

1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
2. Wait at least 60 seconds.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
5. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.

Try making a standalone copy of more than 1 page and check if that works. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.

You may also run HP Print and Scan Doctor to diagnose and fix any driver issue
