Hi All,

I was scanning in some documents last week using my scan feeder and a smaller piece of paper was hidden between all of the documents. This caused my scanner to jam, I removed the jam and reset the machine. I use HP Easy scan app and have now been receiving an error message saying "The scanner is being used by a remote user".

I've reset the machine, disconnected from it through the computer, I've checked preferences, I've closed down and rebooted HP easy scan. I've pressed every button on the scanner itself.  I sifted through the HP faq and tried the chat with a robot thing too. Nothing has worked as of far.

Does anyone have any experience with this issue?
