HP 3050 Scanner not working with Windows 7
My HP 3050 worked fine with XP. Now that i have a computer with Windows 7, the scanner will not work. I called HP, and they do not have a fix, and their Windows 7 computer with HP 3050 scanner works the same way. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi Donaldparis, After researching from the HP website, I realize that they do not release the HP LaserJet 3050 All-in-One Printer driver for Windows 7. It means that you will install the Windows 7 built-in basic driver and use the basic features. For more information about how to install the basic driver, you may refer to the following link: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=120&prodSeriesId=3463669&prodTypeId=18972&objectID=c01856597#category4 Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information. If it does not work, you may also try to install the printer driver for Windows Vista under compatibility mode. Install driver under compatibility mode & Administrator level ================================== 1.Right click on the exe file for driver and click Properties. 2.Click on the Compatibility tab. 3.Select “Run this program in compatibility mode for.” 4.Choose Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) from the drop down list. 5.Select “Run this program as an administrator” option under the Privilege Level topic. 6.Click Apply, click OK. 7. Please double click on the exe file again. Good luck! Arthur Li - MSFT
