    Scanner not being recognized by PC after working fine


    I went to scan a document I signed and the HP Officejet printer did not recognize the computer. It had just printed said document sans signature from said computer.


    I then tried to initiate scan from the computer to the printer. It was unable to recognize the scanner. Even though when I went to devices, there the printer/scanner is listed as ready to print/scan. I am at a loss.


    Thankyou in advance for any suggestions.


    Fred

    Unable to get Win10 to recognize EPSON 4870 Photo Scanner


    I'll walk you though the steps I do to install my Perfection 1200. I have to do this periodically for some reason to reestablish the 'non-standard' Perfection 2400 driver.

    1. Right click on the scanner in Device Manager (as Admin) and select Update Driver. Then select the option to browse my computer for driver software.

    2. Then select Let me pick from a list of device drivers....

    3. Select Imaging Devices from the next list.

    4. Finally, select the correct Epson driver you have installed then click Next. If it isn't listed then something has gone wrong with the driver installation.

    5. Hopefully, the scanner should now work?

    HP LaserJet 3050 Scanner Not Recognized (Printing works)


    I just upgraded from 7 to 10 and now I cannot scan on my HP LaserJet 3050. The 3050 is recognized as a printer and I can print fine, but it is not recognized as a scanner. I have tried Windows Fax and Scan to no avail. I have the original install disk, but it will not install as I get a "Run as" error. I have tried running as administrator and even activated the default administrator account to no avail. I still get the "Run as" error on the default administrator account. I tried downloading various drivers from HP, but nothing worked. Any suggestions?

    Line in being recognized, but not working. Audio works fine though, but not mic.: I recently got a headset splitter for my headset (the steelseries arctis 9x Xbox edition) because my mic on the headset wasn't working. Windows detects the mic as "Line in." So, I got it, and it worked for a little while, picked up audio from my headset and stuff, and then...
