Hi Marge,
If your scanner is functioning as it should for other tasks, there's no need
to reinstall just to print photos. I'm assuming your scanner is a fairly
recent model with it's own photo editing software. All you have to do is
follow the instructions of that software in order to print your photos. It
will take a little time to familiarize yourself, but once you are, you
should be printing without any trouble. I suggest printing on plain paper
the first few times as you get used to things. While it may be a waste of
ink, you will not have wasted your photo paper too. By the way, what model
is your HP scanner?
