So your HP scanner stopped working?
When trying to scan, many HP multi-function printers, such as the M2727, M1522, etc. have a problem that pops up and says:
The software had trouble scanning or was cancelled.
Here is the fix:
- Uninstall the printer.
- Run Regedit
- Make a back up of your registry.
- Do a search (include keys/values/data) for the description of your printer, e.g., Hit F3, then search for M2727.
- Delete all HP-related registry entries that have that printer listed.
- Reboot
- Reinstall the printer software.
That should do it for you.
