<br>
'Everyone?' Presumably, this is a message displayed on your
computer? If it's a message displayed on the MFD, if it has a
display, then it's an issue internal to the device.<br>
<br>
I used to be a disciple of HP quality; after all, I worked for HP
for over 13 years (and got employee discounts). But, after a
series of failures I started buying my printers/MFDs from Canon,
and have been happy with the performance, quality and service for
a couple decades. HP's once-legendary quality went down the
crapper when, 'coincidentally,' Carly Fiorina was given the reins,
and the battle-hardened, bureaucratic infighters from Compaq took
control. Case in point: Arguably the most popular handheld
calculator--at least with financial types--is the HP12C. I've
purchased, over the years, 5 or 6 of them but the last couple I
bought were all but unusable. The newer ones' keys were so stiff
you had to mash them really hard and you'd get unintentional
repeats; e.g. you press '0,' and get '00000.' They're now
collecting dust and the older models are still serving me well.<br>
<br>
I think you have to byte[sic] the bullet and put your $250 towards
a new printer/MFD (esp. if <b>you didn't change anything</b> and
the printer started acting-up on its own; communications chips do
fail occasionally). Canon's good, but I've heard good things about
Epson as well.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Plus 1 for VueScan. Ed is an
incredible guy and the software simply works! You
can D/L it and see if/how it works. You'll get
watermarks until you pay for it but you'll know it
works before you do. It was recommended by a
friend on the editing list I've been on since the
mid '90s. I used it for maybe 15 minutes and
bought the lifetime licence. At some point Ed made
it cross-platform and my lifetime licence was
grandfathered so I can scan using my Brother MFC
from any of my Macs or PCs. Inarguably the best
$100 I ever spent on software!
