How to Connect a Printer using Bluetooth
Make sure your printer is Bluetooth enabled. Some printers come this way (read the manual to verify) but others require adapters. Shop online or visit an electronics store to find an inexpensive Bluetooth printer adapter.
Set up your adapter. All you need do is connect one end to your computer and the other end to your printer and it will install itself.
Turn on the printer. Make sure it is connected to a working electrical outlet and the printer power is on correctly.
Open Bluetooth devices on your PC. After installing your Bluetooth adapter, go to the control panel and open 'Bluetooth Devices.'
Add printer automatically. This is less secure, but easier. From the options tab, make sure the options 'Turn discover on' and 'Allow Bluetooth devices to connect to this computer' are checked. Your printer and computer should then find each other automatically and begin working. If you'd rather not let other devices discover your computer, follow steps 6 and 7 instead.
Add device manually. From the devices tab, select 'Add Device' and run the installation wizard to find your printer.
Use the 'Add Printers' wizard. You can also add the printer by clicking 'Start' and 'Printers and Faxes' and then 'Add a Printer.' When the wizard pops up, select 'Bluetooth printer' and Windows will search for your printer automatically.

How to Repair an HP Officejet Scanner Failure
Place a color document face-down on the scanning glass and close the lid. Press the 'Start Color Copy' button, then lift the lid slightly during the scan to see if the scanner's light is working.
Take the printer to a service shop if you do not see any light coming from under the scanning glass. If you do see a light, unplug the printer's power cord from any surge protectors of other devices and plug it directly into an electrical outlet.
Move the printer to a different room and still plug it directly into an electrical outlet if you see the same error again. Power cycle the printer by unplugging the power cord with the printer turned off, waiting 30 seconds, then plugging the power cord back into the printer and turning the printer on.
Partially reset the printer if you continue seeing the error message. Unplug the power cord, then hold the '3' and '#' buttons on the control panel as you plug the power cord back in.
Do a semi-full reset on the printer by unplugging the power cord from the printer. Hold the '#' and '6' buttons on the control panel down while you plug the power cord back into the printer.
Take the printer to a repair shop if the error still displays.

How to Scan a Picture on an All
Blow the dust from your scanner and printing area with canned air. Clean the scanner bed and the underside of the document lid with a damp, lint-free cloth before scanning.
Get your computer and all-in-one printer turned on and talking to each other. Open the scanning software on your computer if needed. If not, you can use the controls on your printer to run the show.
Lay the picture to be scanned face-down on the glass. Square up the photo using the guides that are usually located along the edges of the scanning bed.
Close the lid.
Go for a higher dpi (dots per inch) count if you plan on displaying the scanned image at larger-than-life size. Otherwise, you can select a lower resolution.
Click the scan button on your computer's scanning software window. Some all-in-one printers need you to press the scan button on the printer itself; check the manual before using.
Get a preview of the scanned image up on your computer monitor. This might happen automatically depending on your software settings; if not, you will have to prompt your computer to display one.
Correct small defects such as red-eye in the image. Save extensive changes for later with dedicated photo-editing software.
Accept the scan and save to your hard drive. Remember to put your picture away.
