I have a scanner error on my HP Photosmart 2600 All in one printer-fax-scanner

My HP Photosmart 2600 all in one has a "Scanner Error" on the screen.... I reloaded the driver twice, and still nothing... my unit is over 10 years old, but am wondering if there is an update that I may have missed...

Welcome to HP support community.

Check the scanner bar functionality: partially lift the scanner lid, and then press the Copy button or icon. If the scanner light does not illuminate or move across the glass.

Meanwhile:

Perform a power reset

1. Turn on the printer, if it is not already on.
2. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
3. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
4. Wait at least 30 seconds.
5. Plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet and printer without any surge protector.
6. Turn on the printer.

Update the printer firmware
