The only way I could fix it was to delete the printer and add it back again. Mine is a HP as well so this may be worth trying at least. Also note, you should use the HP tool to add this printer. I think it is hp-setup. On the scanner, it sounds like you need to be added to a group to access the scanner as a user. Look in /etc/group and see if you something scanner related. Hope that helps if no one else has a better idea. Dale :-) :-)
