I use this for 2 years already its just the best quick, clear, its a pleasure to use Problems Encountered: NO

I had an older version of this scanner which was, like other HP products up to then, fast, efficient and as solid as a rock. It got involved in a lightning strike so had to be replaced.

The Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 5590, predominantly aimed at home office or small businesses, offers a mixed set of results. For the rapid scanning of monochrome documents and conversion to editable text files, the automatic document feeder enabled scanner does an excellent job.

Lots of features; good monochrome document scanning; sheet feeder

Slow duplex scanning; visible banding with sheet fed scans; cleaning

This is the 2nd unit I've owned. The 1st one I had for many years until the lamp started going bad, and the ADF was damaged a couple years ago. This brand new unit works great! I couldn't be more pleased. Not only did it cost way less than the 1st one ($300+ vs.

I'm becoming convinced that anytime a company like HP puts something on sale at Costco it's because the item is flawed. That's putting it lightly with this total piece of junk. From the moment you open the box and realize there are NO INSTRUCTIONS, it's an aggravating endeavor.

it worked for 20 minutes

it stopped working after 20 minutes no instructions error messages pop up constantly

it will do the job I had in mind, was disappointing that it did not included a user manual had to go online to HP to get the disk. I have had this for a while, and it really was a Great Deal for the price, good performance!!

We have a number of these in use at our company. The scanner itself is the usual quality from HP that one would expect. The software on the other hand is really not worth installing as it is hopeless. Our experience shows that Omnipage software by Nuance works well with this device.

As other consumers have noted, the flatbed part of this scanner works fine but is slow. The feeder works only when it wants to and that is only about half the time. It will also pretty much destroy some documents that get hung in the feeder and it chews them up.

EXCELLENT SCANNER

Low speed. we can scanner on flat bed in little more time than this but cost is much more than flat bed scanner
