Good but there are some drawbacks........2007-03-14

I guess i'm a power user - i have a home network a pc and a mac.

The hardware of this scanner is excellent. I had no problems whatsoever with the unit. I did have a lot of problems with the software setup. The actual HP software is a peice of crap in my opinion. It wouldn't scan duplex documents becuase for some reason the software would not let it happen. I also tried it on my mac - which worked fine but created overly large pdf files (18.1mb) for a 6 page document. Finally tried Readiris on the PC which did everything great.

If you give it some patience, and ignore the hp software then it is a good scanner.

The Best Scanner Yet.......2007-03-13

The HP ScanJet 5590 Digital Flatbed Scanner is hands down the best scanner on the market today. I had three scanners that I threw away unhesitatingly when I saw the scan quality of the 5590. It has reproduced photos with better quality than the originals. Scanning photos, slides, reflective artwork and film strips all in one. Bravo to HP for such a fine product.

Two strikes = OUT.......2007-02-19

The orginial scanner we rec'd broke the first time we tried to use it. We got a "lamp" error. We ordered a replacement, and when it was installed, something was missing to make it incompatiable with our computer! After two tries, we decided to request a refund rather than try a 3rd time.

Piece of junk.......2007-01-18

I just used this scanner in my office for the first time today. I wanted to scan a simple colored document that is very delicate.It is brand new, but it has been sitting there for a year without being used. Unfortunately this means we cannot return it.

Installing was not hard. But just installing the driver will not get the scanner to work with Photoshop. I had to install the whole HP software bundle. OK, fine, whatever it takes to get it to scan.

And then I realized the scanner would stuck right in the middle of the job. I waited and waited, nothing happened. The sensor light was just sitting in the middle of the tracks, shining at my delicate document for minutes. Scanner would not respond to any button. Software on my computer froze, too. I had to pull the power cord on the scanner. Repeat the process for about 7 frustrating times, and I finally got it to scan a sub-optimal picture. I wanted to try getting a better pic with a new scan, but I decided not to put too much light on the delicate document.

BOTTOM LINE: This scanner is worse than one that I used 8 years ago. Much worse. I thought scanner technology must've improved over the years. Oh well. AVOID THIS SCANNER.

I have read through all the reviews listed below and I must say I am very surprised by all the negative comments. I purchase a refurbished scanner for use at work. It arrived in its original box with the software and other accessories still sealed in the original packaging. I installed the software with no problems. I have used to the scanner to scan voluminous textual documents utilizing the OCR software so they can be redrafted in Word and it is as close to perfect as I could have hoped for. I also use it to scan documents into .pdf format for delivery via e-mail and permanent storage and again achieved beautiful results. In the last month or so that I have been using this scanner, the software has not locked up on me, nor has the feeder jammed or any similar problem. It did take a little time for me to master the various software features, but I can't complain about that. I'm not sure why others are having such issues, but I am very happy with mine. I should note, I DO NOT use this scanner for photographs. (I have a Canon photo scanner for that.)

Terrible Scanner.......2007-05-09

From install through use, this scanner was a terrible performer, and a major productivity waster.

Installation turned up compatibility problems between this scanner and other HP devices! When the dust settled, the ADF started jamming from the first scans. Clearing jams out of the ADF was a nightmare, and as one reviewer wrote, you really would almost be better off trying to scan your documents with a shredder!

Using a paper path cleaner sheet didn't help anything. After a huge waste of time trying to deal with HP support (in India), I downloaded four - four! - patches, which somewhat improved the jamming problem. However, within days the scanning software started having problems, and wouldn't scan. More time wasted on the phone to HP support yielded another software patch - for the wrong product!

We finally gave up in disgust and bought the Fujitsu ScanSnap Fujitsu ScanSnap S500 Clr 18PPM/36IPM Dupl Scanner like we should have in the first place - a worlds better product, with much better software.

Please, save yourself time, energy and money and don't buy this piece of cr*p - I wouldn't use it as a boat anchor.

Totally worthless.......2007-02-02

Don't but this scanner. It is totally worthless. It jams on everything, you can't remove the pages without destroying them. You'd be better off trying to scan with a shredder.

Worst Scanner I have ever used.......2006-04-08

This scanner is horrible. It jams constantly when using the ADF. The OCR software they have included is useless.

Does a whole lot for the price!.......2005-11-03

This scanner offers a wide range of functions for $299. It does a very acceptable job with photos, after scanning about 250 documents, I have had no paper jams. The duplexing is great for two sided scans, however ther is some bleed throgh when scanning with the adf when there is print on both sides. I solved this problem by choosing the option to scan to word and then using the picture toolbar to brighten.

I have found the basic scanning software very easy to use. I use omnipage pro as my ocr software and my first ocr scan with the 5590 was perfect.

For $299 you can put up with a few irritations, but at this point I really haven't found any.

DONT BUY THIS SCANNER.......2005-06-30

Constant jamming, especially in duplex mode, very difficult to get the paper out of the machine once it jams.
