When I try to acquire an image from the scanner (HP F4400), the image will scan but before anything can be done, an error message pops up saying the server is busy and I need to switch to the other program. I then have to go in to the Task Manager and close out of the program. This is a personal computer but I do have other computers going through my router. Is there a fix or work around so that images scanned can be imported to the program? Using Windows 7.

Do you have another application that you can scan into such as MS Word just to check. Heck, I did not even know a scanner would work on a network.

Hi Jack,
that HP model is a multifunction centre. I have a networked Epson multifunction centre and I can wirelessly (or wired) print to it, scan from it and send faxes from it from any computer on the network. I have never heard of a standalone networked scanner though; I am not sure if anyone has ever made one.
Best regards,Brian.
I have the exact same problem on my HP4600 scanner. The drivers on HP site are for Window Vista from 2007. A work around I found is switch to then select Photo Paint and it will open a second window. Leave the other one running in the background and it seems to work.
If anybody had a real solution, I would love to hear about it.
