The printer is out of warranty. On turning it on, it reads "Scanner
failure. unable to scan, copy or send a fax. Press OK to continue". On
pressing OK, the message disappears. The computer can print without any
issues.
I ran the diagnostics at

and

but it did not fix the issue.

but that too did not help.
The scanner was working fine till last week. Connected the Officejet
4500 to another computer(running Windows 7), directly to the socket in
wall, but still the scanner does not work.
The Officejet 4500 is connected to a desktop running Windows XP. Glanced
the manual at

steps to resolve this error.
1. Do I have to replace the bulb as
Since it is in another language, I

video.
2. Is the scanner bulb generally available at a local Best Buy/Staples
store?
3. What else can I try?
