The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Can't get scans from HP All in One 9110 using Director TWAIN interface

Asked by saxguy in Internet Explorer Web Browser, Computer Scanners by HP, Windows XP Operating System

Tags: , , , ,

I did an install of an HP All In One 9110 a couple of years old for a customer on two XP machines (new installs I rebuilt).

I wanted to get the latest Director management console from HP's web site but it wasn't made available (copyrighted software?) so we pulled out the CD and I installed that on the first XP machine, printer connected via USB. We chose the full install and I hate HP's software suite but the guy wanted the scanning feature so had to go full install vs. just the printer driver. Well, that kind of worked as far as the image preview for scanned pages but then stopped working. Then I learned that with IE7, Director won't work well without a documented work-around we didn't want for this customer.

So on to the XP Pro machine #2 which has IE6 and ACDSee 7 (a TWAIN interface I like) I loaded Director (full install) as I wasn't sure ACDSee would use the HP's TWAIN software. Went to launch Director and it does load but when we go to initiate a scan from the panel of the scanner we get "software not configured" and have to reboot the printer in order to reset the orange alert light. ACDSee sees HP's TWAIN interface but can't get a preview of a scan either (presumably because the "software is not loaded"?)

Anyway,  I'm at a loss as to two things:
1) Do I really need the HP Director suite to use this All In one for scanning to an XP machine (whether IE 6 or 7)?
2) How can I get this to work with any solution (Director or otherwise)?
