Using a USB cable between laptop/printer, the scanning function does not work but printing does. Error is 'Scanning communication cannot be established'. Ran the HP Print & Scan Doctor 5.1 and after doing all it instructed, received error message "This tool is unable to solve the problem even after a restart" and refers me back to HP Customer Care to try and resolve the issue. Can anybody assist please? Thanks in advance.
Update to my issue. I have now setup the printer on my network successfully but I get the exact same error message i.e.
'Scanning communication cannot be established' when trying to scan a document. Any help is appreciated.
