Cannot scan with HP device. Error: "No HP devices have been detected. HP Solution Center will close now."

Previously on XP pro I had this annoying but workable problem on my HP 7210 All in one.

To scan I had to disable the Windows firewall else it would not see it properly. I put up with it because I was getting a new laptop soon.

New Vista Ult. Laptop. New solution centre software. All installed OK, Looks a lot better. All working well.
Reboot laptop. Need to actually use the scanner. Start the HP "Solution Center"
Get the error:
"No HP devices have been detected. HP Solution Center will close now."

Reinstall HP drivers. All works again. Reboot. need it again later. What do you know, same error.

What's going on?

I can still print to the printer via the network. It has a fixed IP and I can navigate to printer through a web browser. I tried disabling Windows firewall in Vista to no avail.

I just want to use the device as it should be used and now even my new laptop has issues.

Any ideas?
