I get message, Problem scanning. Something went wrong. Please try again.

My printer was working fine when scanning, but now I get a message: 
Problem scanning.  Something went wrong. Please try again. I turned my printer off, rebooted my computer...updated the printer from hp website...but nothing.  I can see the document in preview, and I hear the scanner working.  HELP!!

Hey there @leandermw , Welcome to the HP Forums
I understand you're having scanning problem with your Deskjet 2540, on Windows 8.1 and would like to help you.
I would first suggest that you run the Print and Scan Doctor, and choose "fix scanning" to see if the tool can correct the issue. Send me the results in your reply as well.
If you have the printer connected to a network, either wireless or ethernet, try power cycling the network devices:
Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer and try scanning.
You can also power reset the printer itself:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
Ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly.
Try scanning from the HP scan software on your computer, and also make a copy from the front of the printer.
Write me back with the results

    I have allow apps from anywhere already set on my packaging system. And it was working prior to the update. It went through a self updating process and now gives this error. It's almost like a networking issue, like it can't complete communicating with adobe, because a reinstall doesn't resolve the issue.

    I believe that our “Werbung problem” adds an additional second hyperlink to the pop-up window. This second link is activated whenever you trigger a saved hyperlink to a Mail.com site.
    I had the same problem and eliminated it by deleting all bookmarks, hyperlinks and automatic links that take firefox to a mail.com address. So I just deleted all bookmarks I had saved for mail.com. I also changed my home page link because it also went to my email at mail.com. I then did a warm boot, opened firefox and re-saved my bookmarks and homepage to the desired addresses. Good luck.

    Seems to be a common enough problem. I've deleted the partial failed backup from iCloud, restoring all 5Gb of storage. Then started a manual backup. After about 20 minutes I get the same error message. I have repeated this several times. According to my iTunes on my laptop I managed one backup to iCloud from there but it is pointless if u can neither backup to or restore from iCloud via my iPhone 4. I had hoped ios 5.0.1 would solve this glitch but ....
    So much for "it just works".
    I have yet to see any suggested fix that works for me. Any other suggestions?

  • OneNote 2013 throwing error: There is a problem with your account. Please try again later on Windows 8.1

    Hi
    I had Windows 8 installed on my corporate laptop till last week and as the OS crashed, I have re-installed the system with 8.1 and it has Office 2013 installed with my corporate ID. It is signed in Corporate credentials by default. But when I am trying to
    use Switch Account option and trying to login with my Microsoft ID to sync my notebooks, it throws an error : "There is a problem with your account. Please try again later".
    Note that My Microsoft is active and i am able to access the pages online.
    Pls help with me with a resolution

    Hi Raj_Tan,
    Thank you for posting this issue on the TechNet community forums.
    From the description I understand that you're having problems signing into OneNote 2013 with your Microsoft account and that it's giving you an error: "There is a problem with your account. Please try again later". You mentioned you are able to
    access the pages online.
    Could you please try the following:
    Check if you are able to login to other office apps with your Microsoft account.
    Check if you are able to login to the OneDrive app using your Microsoft account.
    Try emptying all saved passwords from the credential manager:

    Although this link applies to Windows 7, the process is the same in Windows 8.

    Try clearing the cache and deleting cookies for the site, this can sometimes help with accessing a site that previously worked. For details see [[how to clear the cache]] and [[deleting cookies]].

  • HT5903 When responding to an invitation to join a PhotoStream, I eventually get a message saying " An error occurred. Please try again later". What am I doing wrong?

    When responding to an e-mailed invitation to join a Photo Stream I eventually get to a message stating " A problem occurred. Please try again later" Havng tried several times I still get the same message. What am I doing wrong?

    I have solved my problem although I do not understand why !!! I simply asked my son (who sent the original invitation) to send it again but to my iCloud address (which is known to iPhoto) and it worked. I don't know if this might be of use to anyone else but you never know. (Who said computers, even Apple, don't have a "magic" chip  buried somewhere inside them ).

  • "Oops something has gone wrong, please try again"

    I get the above mentioned error message every time I start the CCP.
    I was able to use the CCP on this computer before and also I am able to install CC-Applications at this machine right now.
    The machine I am running CCP on is:
    OS: Win2k8r2
    Free space on C: 25 GB
    There are no entries in eventvwr
    So, what is the problem, and how can I solve it?

    OK, I found the reason.
    I am using the AdobeID I use for CCP also on my  local machine to use CC programs
    As I currently install a new workstation, I have this ID on two machines.
    So, both "slots" for this account were taken and CCP could not use this AdobeID anymore.
    Unfortunately, it does not tell you about this, and also it does not give you any options to use a different AdobeID or to log out the other IDs. It just tells you "Something went wrong" [insert smiley for 'stupid' here]
    The only way to fix this was, to install a local CC program and start it. Then it tells you, that you have no free slot left. Even though, I unregistered my old machine already, it did not work until I told it to logoff any assigned machines.
    [insert another smiley for 'even more stupid' here]
