2542 will scan

2542 not printed computer - it goes into fax: (printer is set as default and prints from a scan)

It should be 2 instances of "printer", a named "HP Deskjet 2542 all-in-One Printer", and another "HP Deskjet all-in - One Fax 2542". For printing, select the one with the printer in the name. Someone has probably changed the default fax.

  • Hp HP 2542: 2542 will scan only one letter

    Hello

    I have a HP 2542, it's for my dad, he wants to use it only as a standalone Copier, no pc attached, just lift the lid put the papoer to press on print, then get a copy at the other end. How simple is that? BUT the scanner will scan only of letter size and the original is A4 so the end of Moose is off, how do I change the scanning a4 area? This should be so simple and yet I can not find where to change it! I installed the printer on my laptop, but all the settings I found said A4 already, but the printer scans stubbornly letter! I need help before the printer and hurt my foot!

    Hello

    Thank you for your time and yes my foot is intact! So the scan size is letter only, well that would explain why I couldn't find where it change!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 first: Printers that HP Business will scan for OneDrive (SkyDrive)?

    Hello:

    The first part of this isn't really the problem, it's just to explain why we are looking for a replacement for this printer.

    Our office is currently using an HP all-in-one Officejet 8500 Pro Premier Series. The charger only really works when he wants (regardless of the resolution of the problems) and we arrived recently on an error message "pump" engine to a standstill at startup (which does not seem to impact, printing, scanning or copying that much). However, our new issue is one that many other experience with this particular model, and it's cyan not print do not at all. I cleaned the heads and blue printing, still does not want to show everyone. Yes, the cartridges are full; No, we don't want to pay $70 to replace part of the printer, when it has enough problems as it is.

    Now, we are looking for a new printer, and my controller wishes to be a brand of HP or a Brother brand printer. We still want an all-in-one, which a lot of HP, however, I need to know which ones will scan actually OneDrive cloud service. I see on e-print and other stuff, but I have no idea what this is. We want just to make sure that our scanner will be useful to our business, and we do a lot of scan-to-OneDrive, but it's a lot of time when the charger does not work all the time.

    You have any suggestions for HP printers? Do you know what models or do not Scan-to-Cloud services offer? I had a very difficult time trying to find one who has had this in the description and specifications.

    Thank you!

    EDIT: Sorry, I had to fix the title to 'scan' instead of 'print '.

    Hello

    Scan to OneDrive is much easier, just set up your printer (any web connected printer) or normal so that your computer is connected to scan to a location (Destination). For Windows 8.1, new printer can take OneDrive during the installation process.

    You can see on the image above, I did a test before the answer of your question (previous answer - print for OneDrive).

    Kind regards.

    Hi zock01,

    Thanks for letting me know.

    I checked on our lab and the generic drivers are listed below for window 8 to add to see if this will allow you to print.

    Go to the start screen, the type (menu tiles) in "Devices and printers", select settings, click devices and printers.
    Click on add a printer in the upper part.

    Select "the printer that I want isn't listed."
    Click on 'add a local printer or network printer with manual settings.

    Click Next.
    Select "use an existing port," select "USB" in the menu drop-down.
    Click Next.
    Select "HP" in the column on the left and on the right, select 'Officejet Pro PCL3 class pilot.'

    You can also try the "HP Photosmart PCL3 class driver" or "HP Deskjet PCL3 class pilot."

    Thank you.

  • Photosmart 7510 will scan is more than several pages

    Until recently, our 7510 Photosmart would provide the ability to scan multiple pages in the scanning area.  Now the test page add does not appear in the scan area.  I do not see anything realted to turning this function on or off.  What has gone wrong?  How should I do?  Thank you.

    Hello

    Click on the HP scanning software scan a document or photo and then select scan to PDF.

    Be sure to check the option Preview.

    Make sure that the resolution is 300 DPI or below, a higher resolution will allow only a single page scanning.

    Now, click on the Scan button and check for the difference.

    Please let me know if that helps

  • HP Photosmart C309a will scan of the computer (iMac) and scans each page as separate-doc

    Help.  Given that I've upgraded to Mac OS x 10.7 will not scan my my all-in-one C309a scanner.  It only scans the computer and each page is a separate scanning.  No idea how I can get it to work like it used to work (and was designed for)?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    Scan from the front panel is not supported by your device provided with drivers Apple Software Update (for example Image Capture / print & Scan) and not a software HP full feature.

    To scan multiple pages into a single PDF file, open picture Capture and don't forget to click on view details if necessary

    Once you choose PDF in the format in the settings area, a small box appears which says "combine in A Single Document. don't forget to check this box, and the scans will be saved in a single PDF file.

  • PRI all-in-one HP Deskjet 3520: Deskjet 3520 printer all-in-one copy, but will scan and print computer

    This printer has always worked well... used only occasionally. The cartridges are fine.  Everything prints out fine computer, it scans very well, but does not copy.  Looks like it's copy, but shot out a blank page.

    Welcome to the HP community @273frustrated,.

    I understand that your 3520 Deskjet is no copy making more correctly however, you can print and scan without a problem. I will do my best to help! I might be far away but I suspect that there could be a problem with the printhead and it printing black ink. I say this because when you print from your computer, normally the ink colors mix to create a composite black, and when you print copies, it's only the black ink cartridge that is used.

    I want you to try a power reset and make sure that the printer is plugged directly into the wall, avoiding bars power and surge protectors. This ensures that the printer is full on.

    Turn on the printer.
    With the printer, unplug the power cord at the back of the unit.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the back of the unit.
    If the printer does not by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.

    Please also try the procedure described in this guide and get back to me with the results when you're done and I hope that we can reach a resolution!

  • scanner HP officejet 4500 g510n Readiris (OCR) does not yet recognize will scan using hp OCR

    Greetings,

    OfficeJet 4500 g510n wireless, windows 8, readiris pro 14.

    OCR, scanning works fine using the ocr software supplied with the cd printers.

    Readiris is no Twain especially for the 4500 but has "hp twain others."

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the TWO printing software and the readiris program

    Readiris refuses to recognize my printer "failed to open the default Twain source" and "the scanner is not responding.

    Readiris support has not responded to my request sent 5 days ago - makes me wonder if their software is the same as their 'support' - pretty useless!

    any suggestions please

    Concerning

    The way I understand it, readiris works that on HP scanners or all-in-One printers offer no OCR software. He added this feature for scanners and printers who have not already. As the 4500 has already built an OCR software, readiris software will not work. I'm not 100% certain about it, as I've only dealt with the OCR of HP software, but what I've read, that's my understanding.

  • Question-will scan not Scan not when the black ink is empty.

    because my printer is not black, she refuses to scan a photo, im not trying to print just try to scan to computer... Help? Help

    1. get a black ink

    2. get a new scanner

    3. identify the make and model of your all-in-one device and perhaps--but not likely - someone ' one will know a work-around.  Some printers behave this way.  Complain to the manufacturer of the printer.

  • Will scan my 7310 or negative 35 mm print

    I have a printer photo 7310, 10 years old. I need to know if she will be either scan or print, 33mm negatives. Or maybe they're 110, not sure. They are negative. Any help much appreciated.

    Hi @RoyalPayne15

    No, your printer will not scan negatives. You can consider a scanjet.

    Negatives and slides scanning

    You can use the link above if you get a Scanjet which scan negatives.

  • Help me buy a new all-in-one which will scan to pdf with preview multipage

    I need a new all-in-one, like the OfficeJet HP 6700 Premium e-all-in-one printer, which I watched in a store.  The box was not clear about the capabilities.

    What I do with old HP all-in-one on an old XP, (11-12 years) old machine is scanning documents to preview multipage PDF, so I can adjust the margins and other things, and if I did not have many PDF files for a multi-page document.  I do this a LOT, I need, it is not a such PITB.    I have not found a way to do this with the printers I have, my new computer so I have to go do it on a slow XP machine in another room.  I can only print at the old printer to my new computer.

    I'm used to using the HP, but those I have is old, my old XP machine (6 years) so it is more reliable and my new computer Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit, and Windows 7 drivers for my old all-in-one are not full function, if they still exist, plus we have several computers and tablets on our network now.   None of the older all-in-one I will do what I need for my new computer, if they'll even install (you look, Dell).

    What I need to know, it's done with Windows 7 on HP OfficeJet 6700 Premium e-all-in-one printer?  (Scan multipage PDF with the HP software preview.) The info on the box was not clear.  If not, is there a model preferably wireless all-in-one that will work for me?  I can plug it into a USB port on my new computer, there are several USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports.  I would like to be able to print wireless from other devices, but this isn't a deal breaker.  I don't want to have to download a few fragmentary shareware or buy a high price to accomplish what I was able to do with the software before HP, on old all-in-one.

    That's what I needed.  Why hell isn't in the ^ & *) & ^ % manual?

  • Canon MP280 inkjet do not print, but will scan. Possibly caused by Avast

    A few days ago, I changed the ink in my Canon printer. When I went to print a document, all of a sudden my Avast Anti Virus started sounding "threat detected - don't worry, we have set." I saw in the popup of Avast box that was connected to my printer, but before I had time to think to click on it to see what the problem was, it was gone again.

    Immediately after, I try to print only resulted in almost nothing happens. The dialog box print which usually appears (to show the ink levels and documents in print etc) burst, but for literally a mili second and then his party once again. Nothing appears in my impression (QC) I cannot print web pages, documents, images and video - no matter what.

    I guessed it was to do with avast, but I found nothing at all in avast associated with my printer. I tried to disable Avast and all firewall, but still nothing. I uninstalled Avast, still nothing. I reinstalled my printer, still nothing. Tried all the usual troubleshooting and diagnosis/repair printer, but never any anomaly. Scanning still works fine.

    Anyone know what I can do? Hopefully, its driving me crazy! :(

    Hello Rovers,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    1. What were the troubleshooting steps you have tried, when you mention 'usual troubleshooting and diagnosis/repair printer?
    2. You get the error message? If Yes, what is the exact and complete error message you get?

    The problem may occur if the printer driver has corrupted or unstable after safety analysis. So, I would suggest trying the following steps and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Check out the following link to diagnose and solve printer problems:

    Diagnose and problems printing and printer

    Also, I suggest you try to run the printer Troubleshooter integrated.

    Open the printer Troubleshooter

    If the problem persists, go to method 2.

    Method 2:

    Try to re - install the drivers for the printer from the following link.

    PIXMA MP280: Drivers & Software

    Note: Select the correct operating system architecture and install the complete package of features.

    Try to communicate with the printer after installing the driver.

    See also: find and install the printer in Windows 7 drivers
