So if the printer head is shot it will not print, but it should still scan. The device used for scanning has nothing to do with the device used for printing.

Does it even act like it is printing? If so, since it's been broken and un-used for a year, the ink cartridges are dried up and the print heads are probably clogged. Sometimes they are too clogged to be cleaned, but I always try.

Did he ask you to put a new print cartridge in? If not and if you have one, try it. I have several printers and if I do not use them each regularly, the heads get clogged and I have to replace the cartridges and clean the heads. I go through this about twice a year with each printer. PIA if you ask me.

They range in price from $$ to $$$ and even more.

This may seem like a dumb question, but did you place something on the glass for the printer to scan or did you just have it scan nothing? If you did the scan of nothing, it will scan a big black square.


Do you specifically want an All in One or do you just want/need a printer?

Do you want it to print/scan/copy/fax or just print/scan/copy?

OYE, I'm having a tantrum for you Jackie. I hate computers. Give me a pen and paper! Betsy saved my butt helping me download picassa. When you get everything straightened out I would rec. Picassa. Good luck.

Jackie -

The reason I was asking what you were looking for is because I have several that I do not need and no longer use.

If I happen to have what you are looking for, I am happy to GIVE it to you. I'll pack it all up and ship it to you and all you need to do is pay for the shipping, which is less than the cost of buying one (I would think).

If you are interested, leave me know what you are looking for and if I happen to have one like that, we can work out the details.

[Kristin Ward]

Hey Jackie, I've got a color HP copier/printer/scanner/ fax that I just put in the attic a few months ago. You can have it. I'll have Bob get it down tomorrow. It worked when we put it up there. I want to make sure it still does and then it's yours if you want it. Let me know.

[Jackie in Tampa]

MM!!! THANK YOU, and KW thank you..
I will take you up on the offer KW...no shipping...

MM thank you sooooooooo much for offering it to me...
Hi Ellie

[Milo's Mom]

Jackie you are welcome. KW is closer and no shipping!! Better deal!!

Too funny though, cause one of the ones I do not use anymore is also an HP print/copy/scan/fax.

Hopefully you will be up and running soon!

[Kristin Ward]

Hey there MM,
You know I will be able to offer 0 teck support to Jackie. I know you can help get her up and running. Thanks again for all the help you gave me!

No problem. If she wants my assistance, I am here.
If possible, please give her the disk that came with the printer so it's super easy to install the drivers for everything. If you no longer have it, leave me know exactly what model it is and I'll download the drivers and e-mail them to her.

[Kristin Ward]

MM, I got the disk, gonna catch up w/Jackie tomorrow.

[Milo's Mom]

Is there a reason you cannot go download Firefox, then uninstall Google Chrome, then install Firefox?

[Charley Chuckles]

I did do that but the new firefox didn't work/or I couldn't get it to let me put up pics etc. I am sure it is Firefox and not me

[Scooterzmom]

well I wissh you were here today..I have a nice printer scanner yada yada machine..
sometime ago, I got a virus and my geek could not fix it, he called and told me to come get my pc but it wasn't mine..it was my son's fathers OLD one with my stuff in it...
and it worked so I did not complain and he never charges me to fix these issues, the geek that is...
however...my scanner will not adhere to this new pc(OLDpc)...
I did go to tyhe epson website and download the software again per my son...however it still won't work...maybe I DO NEED TO INSTALL or something...
honest...my very first email was to clarrisa...and then I found TSB...other than that I had a fancy freecell machine..
I had internet for three years and never even knew what it was or how to find it..I just played free cell!
I am really good on TSB and email..that's it..
no skill ot know how..I did mange to download Smilie central...
Phill says downloading crap like Smilie central is probably what gave me the virus in the first place!
PC is too slow to post on face bookk, takes forever to view others pic and videos on photobucket, but I have learned to be patient..
I have high speed internet but it is slow anyways..
When Phill comes over he gets so aggrevaited on my PC...
he says (SAYS) that he is giving me his pc and getting a lap top..
but them I have to learn all over...on his machine.
I loved the 70s...

If you are as technologically impaired as I am Jackie - I mean beyond the button to turn the thing on and off I can barely figure out anything when it comes to computers - then you need yourself a Mac.

After years and years of fighting with a PC, after screaming for years and years "Honey!!!!!!! How do I do this on the dan puter? .... Honey!!!! How do I do that.... Honey can you fix this????" Virus protection and all I STILL ended up with a virus that wiped my entire hard drive and never managed to recover half of my stuff. I had enough... and before HE told me he had enough I figured I'd something about it!!!!

SO, without even telling my old man, I went out & checked out the macs...had the guy explain things to me at the store and show me how it worked... and bingo! Bought the thing, went home, plugged the thing and LITERALLY LESS THAN 2 HOURS LATER, ALL BY MYSELF, I WAS UP AND RUNNING!!!!!! I mean, I was already editing photos on it 1 houor after I got it going!!!!

Been more than 8 years now, and I guess you might say "Once I got a Mac, I never looked back." Besides, one of the advantages of the mac is, it's a lot less subject to viruses... not saying there aren't any but thre are far less of them that will effect the Mac; apparently the hackers don't bother much with it and consider it's hardly worth their time, figuring the vast majority of people use PC's anyway.

That;'s just my rgain of salt of course, I'm just a computer dufus anyway and on the Mac I use Safari as a browser
