Milligan I have been looking for a reasonably priced duplex ADF scanner for some time now, I want to scan a file cabinet of documents and shred the originals. I thought this HP was it, it isn't. I spent several hours over a few days giving this guy a workout. I scanned stacks of bank statements (30-35 pages at a time) (8.5 x 11) and mortgage documents (8.5 x 14) both single sided and double sided. Several times the ADF jammed (roller slipped and eventually gave up) and I had to man handle the stuck page out, I could find no way to release its grasp of the paper. These were not glossy pages, just typical bank statements. Other times one or two pages of a stack of 35 would scan in only a third of the page. It cannot scan duplex pages longer then 12 inches, I don't know why. Duplex scanning takes more then twice as long as simplex because it has only a single scanner and must flip the page (I think it does this flipping twice). The software wasn't smart enough to handle scanning mix length pages, if I had a document (for example: mortgage papers) with a mix of letter and legal size pages I had to tell the software that all the pages were 14 inches long otherwise it truncated the legal size to 11 inches. It all boils down to a lack of trust for me. Before I go shredding originals of these documents I need to be able to trust that I have good electronic copies and this scanner/software didn't establish that trust. 39 of 40 people found the following review helpful. NOT for the novice. By P. M. Gross Windows XP. SP2. Single Gateway Profile computer. MS Office. Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional. USB Connected. Mostly used for scanning documents directly into *.PDF files WITHOUT using the OCR feature. We bought this scanner a few months ago to replace a 7 year old HP Scanner, also with a document feeder. The HP Scanjet 5590 is not something you can expect to work right out of the box; it isn't as plug-and-play as we would have liked. The included software is extensive and takes a long time to load (and to repair!). It may also require some tweaks to work at all, one of which we got from HP on the telephone and another (to improve scans into PDF) we found on their web site. Once working, the software is still not "intuitive". There are many complexities to scanning and the HP software has a significant learning curve. The scanner warms up quickly; the document feeder is fast and reasonably reliable but can jam if it doesn't like the paper fed through it. The double sided scan works but again, the paper must be be good quality. We have had no difficulty scanning a dozen or more pages either through the document feeder or indivual scan into a single PDF file. We have also scanned single photos into *.jpg with good results. We have not scanned slides or negatives. We only use the software controls and can't comment on the button features. We have not yet had to partially disassemble and manually clean the document feeder and have no comment on this feature either. In summery: If you have some computer experience, especially with scanning and you have time to sort out the glitches, you can probably make the 5590 work for you and get good results. If you are a relative novice, this may not be the right place to start. Add: 09/08. We purchased a new computer running on VISTA (former had XP) and attached the scanner. A software download was required. The unit installed easily and worked faster and with fewer glitches than previously. UPDATE - early 2010. We began to have software issues when the computer kept saying that certain files were unavavilable. The solution (per HP) is to download the proper software, move it to a SEPARTATE FOLDER, click to open and EXPAND the files and then do the installation. 91 of 100 people found the following review helpful. This scanner sucks. By Avery Sorry for the juvenile review title, but there's really no
