hp4500 scanner not working

[effieacct]

Could someone help me get my scanner to function?  I installed the drivers, and I re booted.  Nothing happens.  Have Windows 7, no problems indicated on the download from the HP web site.  There should be an icon on the lower right tool bar indicating I have the program properly installed but there is nothing.  Please help Thank you

If this is a USB connected printer/scanner and it was connected when you installed the software on many models that won't work...

Remove the scanner in Device Manager.
Remove the HP software in Add/Remove Programs.
Power down and disconnect the scanner...re-boot then run the HP setup software and it'll prompt you for when to connect the scanner...should now work.
P.S. Make sure the software/drivers you DLoaded are for Win7...

Let us know.
