I followed those steps but I dont have any problem with printing or faxing. The url that you gave me to follow is not same for my printer. The problem I have is using my scanner on os 2003 server. I have 3 in 1 function in my device Printing, Faxing, & Scanning. I can't add my scanner so that Hp software can detect my scanner to make it work properly. I am able to install the HP software successfuly that came with my multifuction printer, but it's not detecting my scanner but it's able to detect my scanner and fax machine. Can I do something to install my scanner driver?

Start>Right Click on My Computer
Click on Manage
Click on Device Manager
Click on + next to Port
Is it ECP?

Right click on Port and click on Properties
Click on Port Tab
Check Enable Legacy Plug n Play detection
Click OK
Click OK
Close Device Manager

Reboot the system

See if that will detect the scanner for you.

I tried it didn't work. I can see under device manager that the driver for scanner is installed but every time i try to scan it give me the error "Sorry cant initialize the scanner". i also tried to add scanner under control panel > Scanner and cameras, but it wont detects the proper driver for it.

The corporate driver software for the HP Officejet 7100 Series All-In-One printers consists of a print and TWAIN/WIA scan driver for local connections, and a print and web scan driver for network connections. This software is primarily intended for corporate customers, and does NOT provide full functionality. The software solution provided here contains Print and Scan drivers only. All other functions of the Officejet 7100 Series product will need to be performed from the front panel when this software solution is in use. For full functionality (Print/Scan/Copy/Fax) from the PC, DO NOT install this solution. Instead, install the Officejet 7100 Series full solution, located at www.officejetsupport.com.


The HP Director was lost, but scanning and printing capabilities were available on Win 2003.

Try posting to the Windows Server 2003 Forum. They should be able to help.
