Help With Scanner Problem (Hot Pic Included)

I've been using the HP Photosmart C5180 since last summer. The scanner part of this all-in-one was rarely used. Yesterday I tried to scan some photos and, to my surprise, the image came out covered in a layer of black lines. I tried adjusting some of the scan settings and got the same result every time.

P.S. I'm sorry, I have absolutely no idea what's wrong with your scanner.

It's obvious that the problem lies in the image convector... either that or it's the trans-sequencing imager which is failing to coagulate the vectoral information matrix.
Honestly, i think the thing's had it!
