This model scanner doesn't have any built-in way to connect to a network. You need to connect it to one of the wired ports on your router with a USB print server like this. The server provides the link between the scanner and your network so that it can be used by any connected computer.

How to share scanjet 5590 with other's pc.

Hi,
you can find all the softwares and drivers needed for your model here. Then select your operating system and proceed to download.
I hope this is usefull to you

You could be feeding the paper upside down.
Try turning the sheets over and re-scan.
The paper travels into the scanner from the top and then onto the glass. This means the paper should start out with printing face up.

In the scan options there should be a box to check for multipe scans or pages.

You can go into the back of the printer and open it up. HP has great instructions on their site.

Go into your "printer properties" and make sure that someone hasn't inadvertantly changed the page settings.

If you keep the multipage switch (checkbox) ON, you will get a single file with 30 pages. If you keep it OFF, the scanner will give 30 Image/PDF files.

the preview scan box has a little window that you as a user can expand and position look ana see...

Check you scanner settings. Increase the contrast/brightness. Try a good printed page. Clean the glass thoroughly

cannot possible to install in vista using the CD of scanjet 5590

uninstall and remove all the icons from your PC first than reinstall the driver from CD and run complete setup it works.

I would do a manual uninstall and make sure to do the device utility at the end and follow the directions step by step from this link.

Redownload the drivers and make sure they are for 10.3.9 and the full feature software to make sure the right drivers are going to be installed.

Also I would unplug the unit while it is on and plug in directly to the wall to make sure not a power issue. The printer does not share power well and pulls it in large amounts - when it can't get it it throws little power fits and sometimes will not turn on at all or it gives error messages.

Hi, The problem seems to be a piece of debris , paper stuck in the ADF roller assy. You can check this by opening up the adf cover and inspecting the paper path. I have seen where a very small peice can cause paper path problems to where something is blocking the paper> Good Luck!
