Negative Positive
Title: Can't get out of its own way
Review: The hardware itself is fine but the driver is a disaster. Every time your computer reboots you have to reload the driver - in all its 395MB glory. This weekend I sat through another install, everything worked fine. This morning I rebooted after applying Windows updates and when I tried to scan received the message "HP Solution Center cannot run because your device installation is not complete." It was complete last night, strangely enough.The web is full of rants about this problem. I can still print to the printer from any program, but scanning is impossible. Even if I bypass HP Solution Center and run the scanning program directly (hpiscnapp.exe), it cannot find the scanner. Strange that HP can find the printer but not the scanner running on the same device. If you work from home this becomes a serious productivity drain.Needless to say, I am having all these problems on an HP laptop.
Is the review positive or negative?
