Book of Mac: cannot scan more.

I have a C4680. Cannot scan more. What could be the problem? Then I tried to download a HP drive, thinking that he could solve the problem. The display shows: click on 'Download' to start the download. But where is the button "Download"?

Thank you.

Hi @Sky1 ,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

I see that you can not scan with your HP Photosmart c4680, on Mac OS X 10.10. I'm happy to help you!

For this printer on Mac OS X 10.10 it there's no full feature software and drivers from HP. Only a generic driver that is built into the operating system, as described in this guide, HP printers - install Mac printer driver using Apple Software Update.

To scan, you will want to go through this post, Re: iMac OS X 10.9.3 Scan for iMac driver for HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 a A910a does not appear to be, by my colleague @Sunshyn2005. Even if this post is for a different printer and operating system, it will always apply to your situation.

I hope this helps!

  • Mac cannot scan from the HP Officejet Pro 8500

    Hello

    I can print from my computer, but I can't scan to it.

    Printer/Scanner: All-in-one printer, HP Officejet Pro 8500 - A909a.

    Computer: MacBook Air, OS X 10.9.4

    They are connected wireless. I tried an Apple software update - there is none. I tried Printers Scanners & (in system preferences), preview and Capture of Image. None of them recognizes a scanner to my computer.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi DanSF79,

    Thank you for your answer! I noticed that the Mac recognizes your printer as a generic PCL Laser printer and you are out of ink.

    I recommend the following steps:

    1. Reset the printing system. OS X Mavericks: reset the printing system.
    2. Verify and repair disk permissions. 12.x disk utility: repair disk permissions.
    3. Uninstall the printer. Uninstalling the printer software.
    4. Re-install using the Apple updates. OS X v10.9 Mavericks: installing and using the printer on a Mac.

    Please note: If you are out of ink, I recommend to replace the ink cartridges.

    Hope this helps you and have a great day!

  • LaserJet professional M1217 nf: cannot scan over network with a printer laserjet 1217 on a Mac

    Hello

    My set up:

    Mac with Yosemite

    LaserJet M1217 more wireless

    Description of the problem:

    I can't scan. Preview, the control panel or image capture, I get the same error saying "cannot open a session.

    I have installed and reinstalled the drivers/printer about 100 times.

    I tried to add the printer/scanner like airprint, or with the name of the printer as a proposed post.

    Just what causes the same error.

    I have the 2.0 version of the driver installed right now. Tried with 1.7, same result.

    I can print without problem since my Mac and my iPad.

    Tried it with an ethernet cable and have the same problem in case someone ask.

    I looked all over google and doesn't seem like someone else has the same problem? Many people have problems printing over wireless, but it's ok for me. Is the scan, I can't go to work.

    Pages of HP does not offer any other driver which has of the Yosemite. HP offers no additional program for Mac and scan.

    Don't know what else to try.

    Little help? Anyone?

    Thanks Geminy02,

    Unfortunately, your suggestions did not help, and I have a few comments about them.
    First of all, your suggestion about the router was the problem is quite impossible, as you will need to check if the ports are open only in the case we're talking about two different network segments. If you have your printer and your computer in the same segment you will have problems of ports.
    Second: if I would have chosen IP protocol to add my printer, I wouldn't take the option scan, as you said, which means I could not done any tests that I mentioned in my original post, and I would never have had to the point of getting the error message.
    Thirdly: the drivers that you MENTION for download are exactly the same as you get with yosemite, so, this could help to reinstall the driver, it's kind of a long shot (and yes I tried).

    In fact, I managed to solve my problem by doing a factory reset of the printer, any sign of a printer in my computer, cleaning and reinstall the printer using the airprint driver suggested by yosemite where to find my bounjur printer.

    I tried ro think what could be the reason, or to see all what I had changed, and the only thing I've seen different in the configuration before and after he started to work was the name of the printer. When it did not work my printer was called simply "printer", when he was working he was the full name that comes by default. It would be very strange, that this is the reason, but I just mention it here just in case someone read. I believe that the factory reset was the difficulty, not the configuration itself.

    Just for the other readers, I can confirm that this unit can print and scan over my wiresless and cable network on yosemite, with the help of preview, capture image or scan property in the control panel. It took me several hours to make it work, but it does, and my best friend was all the time the printers web page, where you can change the configuration of the printer.

  • My book for Mac "preparing backup".

    Hi all

    I've updated to Sierra this morning and since then my WD My Book for Mac has been slain in the backup of the preparation for about 10 hours. My backup before the upgrade went through without a problem. Is the amount of time the backup takes to be expected with the upgrade or it's just stuck in limbo?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello, Huss417!

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. Congrats on the update to Mac OS Sierra! It's a great new operating system. From your post, I'm seeing that you have problems with your Time Machine backup since the update, even though - he was slain on "Preparing" for a lot longer than expected. I know the importance of these backups and want absolutely to make your passes by. I'd be happy to help you!

    The following article will give you more information about what might happen.

  • Time Machine do not hourly backups on WD My Book for Mac new

    My 1 TB time capsule was too small for the full backup so I just bought a 6 new to WD "My Book for Mac" and have now a new back up, but it won't backup time as usual. I am running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 Can anyone who thinks that the reason for what I fear not having a reliable backup. The problem with the new hard drive external or is - a problem with EL Capitan?

    Hello Arnaud,.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It is my understanding that Time Machine was not back up as expected. I certainly understand how it is important to be able to back up your content. I'm happy to help you.

    There are several factors that could influence the automatic backup. Please follow the steps in the link below to fix this problem:

    If you cannot back up or restore your Mac with Time Machine

    In addition to these measures, hourly backups could be affected by your sleep Macs and power Nap settings, depending on which Mac you use. To ensure that your hourly backups are finished, set your Mac sleep to a longer period time. For testing purposes, try to set the duration of sleep at least 1 hour. You can do this in system preferences > energy saver.

    In addition, if you use a portable Mac, make sure that it is connected to power during the tests to see if hourly backups work. See the link below to view information on how Power Nap works and how it can affect Time Machine.

    How Power Nap works on your Mac

    Keep in mind, that Time Machine backs up only files that have changed since the last backup.
