Printer hp3760 prints fine but wont scan to PC other than a very faint grey unreadable message.

All connections checked and are OK and online. Manual scan is the same.

@shirleyt1, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your HP 3760! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

  

It sounds like your HP DeskJet 3760 is having scanning issues where the scanned image is extremely faint and unreadable. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

 

Check Scanner Glass and Paper Alignment

  • Ensure the document is properly placed on the scanner bed or through the feeder.
  • Clean the scanner glass with a lint-free cloth and some glass cleaner to remove dust or smudges.

Restart Devices

  • Turn off the printer and unplug it from power.
  • Restart your PC.
  • Reconnect and power on the printer.

Run HP Print and Scan Doctor

  • Download and run HP Print and Scan Doctor from HP’s support page.
  • It will automatically detect and fix common scanning issues.

Perform a Hard Reset

  1. Unplug the printer while it is powered on.
  2. Wait for 60 seconds.
  3. Plug it back in and turn it on 

Let me know if this helps!

  

Take care, and have an amazing day!
