Hey guys, I'm having a hard time with 2 HP scanners at dentrix. They have an 3301 and a 9120e. I already uninstalled the drivers from device manager,twain32 & 64, uninstalled all the software related to it. I reinstalled the software, and I'm getting this errors:

If I try to scan directly from dentrix, I get this error:

**Dentrix Quick Scan dialog** is open with scan type options visible (Black & White Text, Text with Graphics, Color Image, Black & White Image, High Quality Black & White). A secondary error dialog from **Dentrix Dental Systems** is displayed over it, reading: **"Device could not be opened. Unable to scan"** with an OK button. No error codes or numeric identifiers are visible; the error is text-only.

If I try to scan from the HP software, using autoacquire, I get this error:

**Dentrix Document Center โ Boryszewski, Mariusz [BO0023]**
A Dentrix Dental Systems error dialog box is displayed with the message **"Error creating attachment"** and an **OK** button. The Document Center tree view shows folders for Billing Statements, EOB, Patient Information, and Treatment Plans, with documents dated between 1/19/2023 and 10/8/2024. No error code is provided beyond the text message; no numeric diagnostic codes are visible.

I had the same issue with an HP before, removed every Footprint of it from PC, adn still giving the error, when i called Dentrix, they Released responsibility, best fix was Create Auto file Acq

Make sure the workflow for Auto File Acq is JPEG format not PDF

The HP Scan software interface is displayed, showing the shortcut **"Save as JPEG"** selected, with a **"Scanning"** progress dialog box active and approximately **25% complete**. The device identified is **HP-SCAN-MFP3301**. File settings show **File Type: JPEG**, **File Name: Scan\_\.jpg**, and **Send To: Local or Network folder**.

**HP Scan โ Error Dialog**
A pop-up dialog from the **HP Scan** application displays the message: *"The scanner is currently in use. Please wait until your previous task is complete and then try scanning again."* The dialog includes a red/white error icon (circle with X) and a single **OK** button to dismiss. No error codes, part numbers, or numeric identifiers are present.

I'm thinking that there's an issue with the printer itself than the software -.-
