This scanner worked perfectly for the first 5 months. I probably scanned 3000 pages of stuff. Then all of a sudden I could not "initialize scanner". I use it with my MacBook Pro. The scanner shows up in my "About This Mac", just not in the HP software anymore.

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.

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.

We purchased this scanner about 8 months back to replace a discount bin flat bed Canon scanner.There

Great speed; excellent quality; fast; easy to use buttons; excellent technical support

Difficult to install and setup; lamp timeout errors

Min scanner var trasig när jag fick den, de skickade kablar och grejer men fick det inte att fungera, då bytte de ut hela överdelen och vips var allt frid och fröjd. Trist att den var paj men ändå löste de det bra tycker jag under omständigheterna.

- Arkmatare + dubbelsidigt + flatbädd + fotonegativ; - HPs support är väl OK; - Snabbknappar för snabb scanning för vissa ändamål

- Helt värdelös (STOR) mjukvara; - Låter mycket; - Långsam dubbelsidig scanning (överlag långsam också kanske

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

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.

Scanner does a very good job of doing what it has done for me thus far.

Fast; Thus far, have only used it to scan and make hard copies

HP sales support answered all my questions (via email) very well during the pre-sales period; After the sale it was obvious to me that they did not even read my email, much less answer it accurately

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Accurate Color; Easy Setup; Good Bit Depth; Good Resolution; Great auto sheet feed

Documentation needs impro
