Maybe it is of 0 (zero) interest to anyone , but my HP 6200c ... a very expensive unit finally decided to DIE ! ... and this just after 3 years from the EXPENSIVE purchase and VERY FEW scans performed . I have brought the unit to repair centre (no way HP will receive the unit ! ... not even if I would have carried at their central premises here in Italy !) and the final sentence is ... not repairable , frow it in the GARBAGE ! ... (and actually the TRASH is the PROPER PLACE for THIS HP STUFF !) ...
I have been ripped following the ads of HP and is reputation (quite amazing how this kind of brand can have such a reputation with stuff like this sold in the marketplace) ... the scan was NEVER able to scan a slide despite the specifications ... then I discovered the feature being a simple MIRROR !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... such a cheat ! the installation always being TRICKY under W98 and almost impossible in the proper way the operations always randomly working / crashing .... and the past 6 months with 2 big brown/multicolor bands on the scans ... I will never buy an HP product any more and I strongly suggest everybody to look for other brands more serious , with better and more reliable products , LAST BUT NOT LEAST with a BETTER CUSTOMER CARE OVERALL !

I'm guessing your calibration strip might be damaged, or dirt is on the sensor itself. Art Ian Jackson wrote: > Preben, > > I have exactly the same problem on my HP Officejet 1150c scanner.
