HP PSC 1410 all scanner's images are black
I have a HP PSC 1410 printer with scanner inside.
I've been scanning documents and images with it for the last couple of years.
Recently my scanner has stopped performing as excepted and i can't scan or copy imagesdocuments.
My problem is that every imagesdocument i'm trying to scan - the result from the printer is a black page.
I've been googling about this issue and couldn't find any helpful stuff beside replacing the whole printer - which is something i'm trying to avoid.
Any ideas ? I've read something about the shipping lock of the scanner but couldn't find any information about how to check it..

This is off-topic, but it sounds like either the light-source (bulb) or the photocell (image pickup) is U/S. The scanner believes the image to be completely dark: no light is being picked up.

Usually the scanner is a "light wand" which runs along with a "scan wand", and the page is scanned slowly across the page. Run a scan with the lid open and nothing on the platten so that you can examine the scanning mechanism.

I was having the same issue. This is how it began, the software was showing me warnings that the cartridges needed alignment, so I printed the test page, but the black ink was very low and the test page was printed with a bad quality, but I assumed it was going to work anyway. So following the instructions I put the test page on the scanner and scanned the bad test page. After 2 or 3 scanned documents they started to come partially black (like 90% of the page) black, and then all black.
What I did was to change the black ink cartridge and printed a good quality test page and made the alignment properly. The first scan was not black, but the image was incomplete but not black anymore. I made an alignment test again. I closed the HP software, turned off the printer, then on, then opened the HP software, scanned a document and voila! it was good again. I hope this helps somebody. Maybe it does not apply for everyone, but in my case it worked.

I was having the same issue. This is how it began, the software was showing me warnings that the cartridges needed alignment, so I printed the test page, but the black ink was very low and the test page was printed with a bad quality, but I assumed it was going to work anyway. So following the instructions I put the test page on the scanner and scanned the bad test page. After 2 or 3 scanned documents they started to come partially black (like 90% of the page) black, and then all black.
What I did was to change the black ink cartridge and printed a good quality test page and made the alignment properly. The first scan was not black, but the image was incomplete but not black anymore. I made an alignment test again. I closed the HP software, turned off the printer, then on, then opened the HP software, scanned a document and voila! it was good again. I hope this helps somebody. Maybe it does not apply for everyone, but in my case it worked.
