My HP Photosmart 7525 wil not print or scan. It says the scanner component is broken.

This printer is no longer made by HP. Per their support person, it can not be repaired and needs to be replaced with a new printer. I bought a new one.

Ya its true that this HP model is no longer manufactured. But there are little stuff on internet about it just like drivers. manual guides etc. So make a use of these existing material and fix you issue. Download the new drivers from driversdvd.com and run scan and copy test again. If still same condition appear then use some smart troubleshooting hacks from Hp Photosmart 7525 Manual.
