My Scanner keeps dropping out
Hi folks. I am suddenly faced with a problem, which has never appeared before.
I have a HP Scanner [Scanjet 5530] which since having moved from Windows XP to Windows 7 has until the last couple of days appeared as a DEVICE, and has been workable.
However in the last couple of days it has disappeared from the list of Devices and its only by switching it's power supply off and on does it comeback.
I can then use it for whatever needs to be done, but as soon as its not needed it disappears yet again.
I am at a loss to understand what is happening, and would appreciate some advice.
Regards from the UK
