I love my HP Office Jet Pro 1150c All-in-one Printer/Scanner/Copier which I
have been using for six years or more. For the last week or so I have been
unable to get it to scan, and I find that when I go into 'My Computer' the
Office Jet Pro icon (which was always there) which when right clicked allowed
me to use the scanner is there no longer. I have tried uninstalling and
re-installing it but to no avail. I use XP Service Pack 2. Any ideas as to
how I might be able to reactivate the scanner?

When you re-install a printer driver it doesn't necessarily overwrite the old
with new information. It is always best to completely remove the driver before
reinstalling.

HP has information here

There is information here as well
