No HP devices detected. HP Solutions Center will close now.

remove the incorrect 7500 driver and install hp universal driver after install have it search for your printer or manually configure it yourself which ever is easiest for you .please reboot your computer after removal of incorrect driver

Did you follow the prompts to turn on device and connect the USB cable at the correct time in the installation process? Check your USB connections and cable.

It might help to uninstall the HP devices through the Device Manager, and then restart the computer. Let the computer try to detect the HP devices and install them and the drivers needed. You might want to have any software discs handy in case you have to reinstall any software that came with the printer, etc.

In device manager click on view and select show hidden devices.

Cause There are several reasons this can happen. The device was not connected during the installation of the software, there is no printer icon in the printer folder, the Digital Imaging Monitor is not running, or the HP service PML driver is not running.

It may happen if you are using HP Scanjet 5590 scnaner on windows XP. I suggest you to completely uninstlal the scanner software and then install the version 9.0 from the below link. It is the updated version for Vista but work on XP system..

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15179&prodSeriesId=377689&prodNameId=377691&swEnvOID=2093&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=sj-49436-1

Also, please connect the scanner only when it prompts to do so.
Hope it will work and 5590 scanner works with XP.
