How do I fix my HP Scanner?

Question

I have an HP C3180 All In One. When I scan images, they get saved in C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Owner\Local Settings\Temp\~Dest\0001iw\

That's just crazy! How the hell am I going to find my images there? LOL

Can somebody please tell me how to automatically have my scanned in images get saved in something more reasonable like My Scans or My Documents folder or something like that?

Answer 1

After you scan the document/picture, you should have the option of what directory you want to save it to, at this time is when you change it to My Documents or My Pictures. If not then go into your Hp Imaging Program and change the Directory in there

Answer 2

Just right click on the HP Scanner icon and select Properties. A window will appear, and hopefully, there will be a dialogue box for you to choose which folder you want the files to saved into. The reason why your pictures were saved in the Temp folder is because that is the default address as programmed by the designers.

Answer 3

This should work:
Open My Computer - look at the bottom for scanners. (your scanner must be plugged into the computer and turned on)
Right clk the scanner listing and do Properties. There you should find settings.
