HP Scanjet 5590 is an Excellent Buy.......2007-12-28
The Scanner arrived within a few days of ordering with the plate glass broken. The return was so easy and Amazon was so accommodating - I received a new one within a couple days. The scanner is great for my small business use. Quality of documents and photos - and even slides - is excellent. The scanned images are easy to work with, edit and move around. Well worth the money.
Works Great.......2007-11-09
I saw some bad reviews for this product but I have had no problems with it. It works great and was easy to set up. It is a little noisy, but for the price it was definitly worth it.
HP Scanner Decent Product.......2007-10-23
The HP Scanjet 5590 has performed pretty much as described. It was an excellent value, providing lots of features, such as transparency/negative scanning and document feeder, usually found in much pricier units. The user interface could be much better, especially when stacked up against other HP products...and the transformation for negative scanning is needlessly cumbersome. But on the whole it is a solid product, and if you're running Vista 64-bit, it's absolutely the best buy to be had.
If you buy this product you're a damn fool.......2007-08-16
I am sure if you have read all of the reviews up to this point then you understand that this product is a complete and utter piece of crap. That being said, I am going to post a review anyway due to the fact that this scanner is NOT a 2 1/2 star piece of machinery, the average rating is way too inflated and I figure another 1 star review will help balance things in the right direction.
I have experienced all of the same problems that have already been listed, most notabley:
1. random jams
2. the scanner randomly stops scanning a page for no apparent reason in the middle of the scan
3. lamp light errors
I try to use this device at work and sometimes I will put a stack of documents in only to watch the same stack jam on the 2nd or 3rd page 20 X in a row. On the rare occassion that the moon, the sun, and the stars are all alligned the scanner might get through a few pages, but it will inevitabley jam...someone mentioned a 60% success rate, that number is WAY too high, I have experienced well under a 20% success rate and that is being generous...the real number is closer to 5%.
TOTAL AND UTTER PIECE OF CRAP.
Great scanner!!.......2007-07-12
I bought my 5590 3 weeks ago. Since then, I have scanned over 5,000 pages, half of which were double-sided, and about 10% have been scanned in colour. Most are A4 in size, but there have been some mixed size batches of pages. Almost all the output has been to searchable PDF files, with the rest to jpg picture files. The quality of all scans has been excellent. I have had about 10 jams in that time, but most of those were my fault - left a few staples in! I have nothing but praise for this scanner. The setup on my XP computer was simple and worked first time. The interface is great. The OCR program that is supplied with the package - Readiris V8 (not the latest version) - works superbly to produce the searchable PDF files for Adobe Acrobat Reader. It is fast enough for me - my timeline is not critical. It is not intrusively noisy. So it has all been good for me.

Complete waste of money.......2007-08-10
The automatic document feeder basically doesn't work. HP should indicate on the packaging that the ADF is more "ornamental" than "functional". I've resorted to using it as a flatbed scanner, but even this is terrible. The driver software is totally busted. It keeps trying to install re-install itself before every scan (I have to manually kill the install process everytime). I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, using alternate drivers... everything.
What a waste of money.
Terrible Scanner.......2007-05-09
From install through use, this scanner was a terrible performer, and a major productivity waster.
Installation turned up compatibility problems between this scanner and other HP devices! When the dust settled, the ADF started jamming from the first scans. Clearing jams out of the ADF was a nightmare, and as one reviewer wrote, you really would almost be better off trying to scan your documents with a shredder!
Using a paper path cleaner sheet didn't help anything. After a huge waste of time trying to deal with HP support (in India), I downloaded four - four! - patches, which somewhat improved the jamming problem. However, within days the scanning software started having problems, and wouldn't scan. More time wasted on the phone to HP support yielded another software patch - for the wrong product!
We finally gave up in disgust and bought the Fujitsu ScanSnap Fujitsu ScanSnap S500 Clr 18PPM/36IPM Dupl Scanner like we should have in the first place - a worlds better product, with much better software.
Please, save yourself time, energy and money and don't buy this piece of cr*p - I wouldn't use it as a boat anchor.
Totally worthless.......2007-02-02
Don't but this scanner. It is totally worthless. It jams on everything, you can't remove the pages without destroying them. You'd be better off trying to scan with a shredder.
Worst Scanner I have ever used.......2006-04-08
This scanner is horrible. It jams constantly when using the ADF. The OCR software they have included is useless.
Does a whole lot for the price!.......2005-11-03
This scanner offers a wide range of functions for $299. It does a very acceptable job with photos, after scanning about 250 documents, I have had no paper jams. The duplexing is great for two sided scans, however ther is some bleed throgh when scanning with the adf when there is print on both sides. I solved this problem by choosing the option to scan to word and then using the picture toolbar to brighten.
I have found the basic scanning software very easy to use. I use omnipage pro as my ocr software and my first ocr scan with the 5590 was perfect.
For $299 you can put up with a few irritations, but at this point I really haven't found any.
