From: boredstiff on 13 Apr 2008 17:10 What does "Error Code 800F0101" mean? I am getting this error when I attempt to install an important Windows Update for my Hewlett-Packard - hp psc 2170 series printer/scanner. As I try to install the update, my printer is powered-on and plugged into my Vista Premium PC. I think this is the updated driver I need to get back my scanner function.
From: realcestmoi on 13 Apr 2008 18:09 Hi there, It sounds like a driver update has occured which messed up the all in one settings. Hopefully you did not take any non MS driver(s) from windows update? Never take drivers from windows update unless they are intended for Microsoft hardware. If an updated driver is needed because the hardware does not work proper go to the manufacturers website to look for an updated driver. If it ain't broke: do not try to"FIX" it. If you did take the optional drivers from windows update try booting lastknown good configuration, rolling back on the driver or use system restore in safe mode prior to a date of the problem or restore from the full systembackup you hopefully made. As I understand the drivers for the HP al in one hp psc 2170 drivers come wwith the Vista operating system and HP does not provede an update driver (yet) You can disable the update in question appearing when automatic updates isset by going to the windows update website and unmark (hide) driver(s) in question.

From: boredstiff on 13 Apr 2008 19:36 The point is that there is no driver installed at all for my printer/scanner, and the driver that came with Vista will only allow me to use the printer with limited features, but not the scanner. I was hoping the driver that Windows Update is recommending to download for my HP psc 2170 series might revive the scanner functions. But, as I said, everytime I go to install the recommended driver from Windows Update, it fails with Error Code 800F0101. CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHAT ERROR CODE 800F0101 MEANS???
