Default vista office and HP scanner/printer/fax problem

Try the scanner and camera applet in Vista Control Panel. If the scanner
is not seen, you could try Vuescan (google it) to see if it supports
your built in scanner.
I suggested the VirtualBox software as an alternative to VirtualPC. I
believe a reply to your post wanted to load up XP in a Virtual machine.
and see if he could install the printer as a USB device in that virtual
machine. Never tried it but don't see why it would not work.

-- Huwyngr...thanks for the suggestion. I downloaded the driver from the HP
site so it would work with my 4 year old 6110 and everything works but the
scanner. Is that what you mean by a utilitiy or application?
Sorry but I am not too tech savvy. It is almsot easier to buy a new
printer, except frustrating that it worked the day before I got the new
computer with Vista Office.

scan button it starts and makes noise like it is going to start.

Have you tried scanning from an application, such as something HP
supplies with the AIO? For some scanners I have seen specific warnings
that the buttons do not work under VISTA but the scanner does from
scanning utilities or applications.

Try that and report back on what happens.
