Question : Problem: Scanning freezes and hangs with Solution Center

When trying to scan anything with solution center into the vista computer(pre sp1), the preview scan works fine and when you click accept to do the final scan the status box comes up and starts but then it just hangs and doesnt ever do anything.  I watched the lightbar on the preview scan and it goes all the way across then back to the otherside looking like it works ok.  You can click cancel as many times as you want but it doesnt cancel or stop responding.  It just sits there.  Ive tried to use the built in vista feature for scanning but the option is grey out.  The device shows up but scanning is not allowed.
The HP "endless pile of software" suite is installed with the latest updates and its the HP Solution Center I am trying to use to scan from a photosmart 7200 series hp aio.  The printer is connected directly to the computer via usb.

Answer : Problem: Scanning freezes and hangs with Solution Center

We found the solution.  Printer worked fine after installing it via ethernet.  USB didn't fly.
