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.

5742e
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

HP Support Assistant told me to update the drivers and software for my 5742 all-in-one. After I did this the scan dialogue changed (from 2014 to 2015 version) and I can no longer scan 2-sided documents, the dialogue box only allows 1-sided selection. This is most inconvenient. How can I get 2-sided scanning back please?

This worked, thank you. Although I can't understand why HP removed it from the device software in the first place.
