"Windows Fax and Scan" Set Up ?
I have a all in one HP 950xi that works only to prink,, but I can not get it
to work with Vista "Windows Fax and Scan". Is there some sort of setup that I need to use to do so. I have Vista ultimate. |

I have Vista ultimate. When you open Windows Fax and Scan did you set up scanner settings? Click Scan at lower left then Tools/Scan Routings and Scan Settings - does it appear in there at all? Also make sure that it's switched on and connected to your computer. If I remember anything else I'll post back. -- Peter Toronto, Canada XP Pro SP2/SP3 Beta/Vista Ultimate SP1 Beta Triple Boot |

I went to tools and did not see my 950 in settings in order to ADD it under
scan settings. and yes it is connected to my pc and I can print. I just can not scan or fax. I really do not care much about Faxing but I would like to scan . Thanks "Peter" wrote in message ...

You may need to load the s/w that came with the 950. Some of the HP
utilities need to be loaded from this disk before W&F recognizes your scanner. So, load the HP applications, make sure they work, then bring up W&F and get that working. Bob F.

You say you don't care about faxing, you just want to scan...? That has nothing to do with Windows Fax & Scan in that case - if you just want to scan that's up to your HP software. -- Peter Toronto, Canada XP Pro SP2/SP3 Beta/Vista Ultimate SP1 Beta Triple Boot |

WFS is not designed or intended for use with all-in-one devices. It is
highly unlikely your device will work with WFS. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Simon Davis" wrote in message ...

all works. Thank you everyone for your help "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ... WFS is not designed or intended for use with all-in-one devices.
