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

What's not in the Box , Hi-Speed USB cable (compatible with USB 2.0 specifications), power cable, power supply (where applicable),ADF cleaning cloth, transparent materials adapter (TMA) for scanning slides and negatives, TMA instruction sheet, user's manual, setup poster, warranty sheet, CD-ROMs...

It took eight trys just to download the software, none of the buttons work and it finally works you either get error messages or the paper will jam.This scanner will not work with windows xp! Wish I knew this before buying.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Documentation needs impro

Liked the scanner functions it was supposed to handle. but a lousy product

Can't tel you of any pro's here

Scanner Freezes every time i scanned a document on auto document feeder and flatbed

Does great job scanning, but it is cheaper to replace than to fix if it breaks.

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 have had 3 versions of the HP Scanjet scanner; the present one the 5590. All have been decommissioned because they simply have a terrible computer interface. Be assured, eventually, your computer will not be able to recognize and/or initialize the Scanjet 5590 scanner.
