Product: Deskjet 2050
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP

I have a Deskjet 2050 printer and a Pavillion dv2000. I need to scan a multi-page document, but the scanner only seems to allow me to scan the pages one at a time, creating a seperate file for each page, and I have to go through the full "Scan Wizard" procedure for each one, which takes ages. Is there any way round this?

Hi @Recordingtenor

 

My bad!

 

Here's the link :

 

Scanning multiple pages to a PDF document

If you need a Software upgrade, try this standalone solution from HP :

 

HP Scan Extended

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/scanners/HPScanExt/HPScanExt.msi

Once it's downloaded and installed, go to Start > All Programs > HP > HP Scan Extended > Run "HP Scan Extended"

 

Hope that helps!

Let us know if that works.

Thanks for your reply, but I'm afraid it hasn't helped. You refer me to "this example", but then don't tell me where to find it! I did a search for that name, but none of the replies I found refer to my printer model. One thing that strikes me, however, is that the software I have (which came with the printer) doesn't give me the option of scanning as a PDF - would a software upgrade help?

 

Best wishes - Richard

Thanks once again - we're getting there! The tutorial you provided the link to deals with a different (more sophisticated?) printer than mine. When I click on the "Scan a document or photo" icon, the "Microsoft scanner and camera wizard" opens - I don't get any option about this - and that wizard doesn't give me the option to scan to a PDF file. However, I downloaded the software you suggested, and that's done the trick! I can now scan multiple pages and save the result as a single PDF file, so thanks very much for your advice! The only problem I have now is that the definition/resolution if the scans is poor, and I can't see any way of adjusting it. No doubt there's an answer lurking somewhere in the forum - I just need to look for it!

 

Best wishes,

 

Richard
