I've got an HP deskjet F2180 all-in-one printer, scanner & copier.
Everything works except the scanner function no longer scans. Press scan and
some error message appears about initialization failed and will now close.
I've downloaded all latest hp software & drivers and followed their
troubleshooting guide but still the thing refuses to scan.
It's definitely a software prob because I connected it to my sisters lappy
and installed the printer and everything works ok including the scanner.
Now I think the problem is that even though I follow all HP advise and
uninstall the printer from my pc and try reinstalling again, I don't think
it is uninstalling everything and is leaving some things behind (either in
the registry or other hidden places) that is causing a conflict when
reinstalled Just wondered if anyone had any tips or is there any 3rd party
software available that will remove everything HP related from the pc?
