Giving this a try. &nbsp;I've spent all morning trying to get my ScanJet 4100c to operate. &nbsp;Kept getting the message- can't access your scanner Your scanner is currently being accessed by another application. The only applications running were explorer and systray. &nbsp;Tried to call hp tech support but there isn't any. &nbsp;Called number208 323-2551 but told to call 800 999-1148 but that number dumped me. Contacte hp.com/go/support but they gave the number for support at 208 323-2551. &nbsp;I tried this interration two more times Got a guy named woodie who handles the Pavilion but even he couldn't figure how to get me to a scanner tech. &nbsp;Prayer didn't work and neither did the HP tech support. &nbsp;I'll try your idea next.<br />

HP 4100C &quot;Unable To Open Scanner...&quot;

A peripheral device is defined as a computer device, such as a keyboard or printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e., the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be connected to the computer and used in conjunction with it. Examples of external peripherals include mouse, keyboard, printer, monitor, external Zip drive or scanner, while internal peripherals include CD-ROM drive, CD-R drive or internal modem. Today's new devices, such as tablets, smartphones and wearable computing devices are considered peripherals as they can be connected and used on a computer system. The difference, however, is that these devices can run independently of the computer system.
