HP Compact Desktop USB Mobile Scanner HPPS200

I really wanted to like this scanner because it is so portable and it does scan quickly, but there were too many issues. I bought this to scan 40 years of photos and sadly, this will not be my solution.

I can’t believe HP allows someone to use their logo and trusted brand name on such a terrible product, yet not providing any technical support. This scanner does not even exist on the HP website.

I am returning this scanner, and here’s why:

*** 1200 ppi is a complete lie – it won’t scan anything over 200 ppi no matter which size you choose.

*** Auto-cropping is SO FRUSTRATING! The scanner sometimes ignores dark or bright parts of the photo, cropping them out; other times, it was just randomly cropping the sides or top/bottom out. I tried using the specific photo dimensions, and it still cropped sections out.

*** Five days after the last time I used it, I received an error message: “ADF Bulb rear Error,” after which two-sided scanning only worked about 5 percent of the time.

*** Clicking the two-sided/one-sided buttons on the machine do nothing.

*** If you change any of the settings, they don’t take effect unless you close then open the app. (specifically, the image size and two-sided scanning.)

*** When you click on “Save As,” then change the folder location, the app freezes then returns an “unknown error” that won’t resolve and requires you to “end task” in the task manager, thus LOSING ALL OF THE SCANS you were trying to save.

*** Random paper-jam errors when nothing is in the scanner; sometimes would not resolve until performing several attempts to open and close the cover.

I removed then re-downloaded the application – twice, I turned the scanner off, waited 5 minutes and turned it back on, I restarted my computer, Everything works for a short time (except for the 200 dpi) then it starts with paper jam errors, etc.

sending it back.

This portable scanner was very easy to set up on my laptop and use. I was able to efficiently make scans of multi-page documents while traveling for work.

Have only had the scanner a few days and have scanned personal documents and about 100 photos. This little scanner does what I wanted it to do. Easier to use than the flat scanner on my printer. Quality of scanned pictures is directly proportional to the quality of the picture being scanned. I’m not looking for perfection; if you are, you should find another alternative. 🙂 Scanned photos are just as good as those scanned from my HP Printer which was much more costly.

I’m a fan of HP (I have HP computers and 2 other HP all in one combos) but this unit just didn’t impress me.
I bought this to replace a little Brother travel scanner that took a swan dive from my desk.
For a compact unit to travel with, this HP scanner is actually pretty large and cumbersome and doesn’t have an editing program worth a plug nickel (when Covid happened, it seems that HP was content with downgrading their editing program to a program so basic that it should go in the trash, sadly) so I actually returned this for a Canon R10 and am happy with it.
Sorry, HP. Do better!

L’adresse donné ou prendre le driver ne fonctionne pas. Très mauvaise information.
J’ai trouvé le driver sur internet mais la définition est à maximum de 600 DPI au lieu de 1200 DPI comme écrie dans votre desciption pour cette appareil
