Highway Robbery! - by youngtxyankee
Pros: You're kidding, right?
Cons: Jams frequently, software incredibly buggy, difficult to install, works only intermittently.
Bottom Line: Laughably bad if HP weren't making so much money suckering people into buying. It should have a ranking lower than one star. DON'T BUY THIS SCANNER!
Review: Our law firm purchased this scanner and tried for months to get some decent usage out of it. After multiple phone calls to tech support and then HP corporate headquarters, we threw up our hands, dumped it, and were blessed with the good Providence to... (more)
An excellent scanner for small business use. - by bolivar1948
Pros: It works 8 hours a day. Makes us money with it's productivity.
Cons: Occasionally it will jam, but not to the point of being a distraction.
Bottom Line: I would recommend this machine to other businesses and would buy it again.
Review: I purchased the Hewlett Packard 5590 Flatbed scanner nearly two years ago to use in a small business office which is highly technical oriented. This machine is hooked up to a Windows XP Pro machine which is connected to a small local network. The initial... (more)
Great paperweight, horrible scanner - by andyjay
Pros: None that I'm aware of.
Cons: Will not scan a large document without quitting.
Bottom Line: Do not buy this scanner! You'd be better off holding up $300 and letting the wind take it.
Review: I want to let you know about the horrible experience I had with HP's 5590 Scanjet Flatbed scanner. I am a network admin on a LAN with about 100 users. We needed a scanner to be able to convert documents digitally for emailing, archiving, or for use with... (more)
Completely undependable - horrible engineering - by khenson
Pros: Lightweight so you can heave it quite far when it fails.
Cons: How about this: it doesn't do ANYTHING dependably.
Bottom Line: Spend your money on something that will scan better - like a shredder.
Review: I have tried numerous scanners in the past to facilitate document imaging for my household finances. This one purported to handle duplexing - a feature that interested me greatly. The 5590 handles (or mishandles) this by running the document over the... (more)
I'm disgusted - by campdog
Pros: The are absolutely no pros to this scanners. It even looks bad.
Cons: Poor design, poor functionality, extremely poor software. Backup non-existent.
Review: Quite simply this product should not be in the marketplace. We bought the scanner in order to scan our incoming correspondence and develop a more paperless office. We also wanted to use it to backup digital copies of a number of our core reports. This... (more)

Review: I work in technical support in a large organization, and I wanted to share my experience with this model of scanner. We've now gone through 3 or 4 of these scanners. They start flashing "23" on the LCD display at power-up occasionally at first, then... (more)
Scanjet 5590 - by zuptdo
Pros: Document image quality is good.
Cons: ADF jams when scanning multi-sided docs.
Review: Bought the Scanjet 5590 in an attempt to go paperless at home. The concept of multi-side scanning is great --if it worked. Could not get through a stack of 20 pages without incessant jams. There is no way of accessing the area where the paper is... (more)
