• Cannot scan to the computer. Photosmart 6510

  I have just purchase a photosmart 6510 and I cannot scan to the computer.  The printer tells me that I need to activate this via the printer software.  I know that I have installed all the software from the disc supplied.

  I can't find where I have activate the scan of the computer on my laptop.  Support information tells me to click the icon for the printer to my desktop, I do not have!  I tried going through the control panel and impossible to find something there.

  I go in the HP folder in my Start menu and click on scan HP that I get the following message "the machine HP photosmart 6510 series is not found".  I don't have a problem with printing at all.

  Tried to start printing and scanning of doctor and who did not make a difference. (In fact, the scan option came not on it).

  How can I fix this please?  I'm running Windows Vista Home premium.

  Hello.  Thanks for your reply.

  I've sorted really the problem now.  But let me explain what it was.

  I tried tool doctor who recommended you after browsing these forums, without success.  In fact, when I ran the scanner, he told me that he had no problem with printing, but there was no mention of the scanning anywhere.

  In fact, I uninstalled all HP software, removed the printer from my control panel.  Then reinstalled the software from the disc and then installed the printer again (I did things the opposite of the front walkway).  And the scanner function now works.

• HP Laserjet MFP M425 Pro: Cannot scan to the computer using MFPM425

  You just bought a new M425 MFP.  There is no functionality of "Scan to PC", rather) 1 USB-to-scan, scan) 2 to 3) Scan to Email or network folder.  I want to be able to use the function scan to scan directly to my PC and a pdf format.  There have been a few previous posts regarding the use of "Windows Fax and Scan" but who doesn't have a .pdf option.  Other posts talk about using "scan HP from your PC-software" is "HP scanning software" a separate download?  Other options?  Thanks for your help.

  Hello

  Scanning to a computer from the front panel is ot supported on many devices like the M425 Laserjet.

  If the printer is connected to the network, you can set a shared network folder and scan PDF out of the façade, a being defined as follows:

  http://h20566.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.Oid=5096243&docid=emr_na-c03463750&docLocale=en_US

  If you prefer to use the installation of scanning software HP full software functionality on your PC, scanning can be started from the software scanning HP on your PC, and not the front of the printer.

  Full features software can be downloaded below:

  Then the HP scanning software will be available under the start menu > programs > HP > printers folder.

• 120 envy: envy 120th Scan of the computer cannot be activated MAC running El Capitan

  Hi guys,.

  I recently installed it all above named mentioned HP printer software but for some reason, I can't Scan for compatible computer.

  I need to work in order to scan a batch of documents and consolidate in 1 file.

  The native application of the Mac scanner handles scan page by page and saves it on my desk. but I really need the batch option to work.

  I followed all the standard procedures to reinstall the software, resets etc, but I'm still having the problem.

  Under the HP utility screen, I have the scan to computer option on the bottom of the menu. I click on that and extract information. Then I get this message as well as the red dot

  "The HP software required for the Scan of the computer could not be located on this computer. Please download and install the latest HP recommended software for your device to http://www.hp.com/supportand then try again. »

  I made sure all the software is installed and I still have the same question.

  I can connect to the printer and scan of the web also. I just seems to be a problem with the HP utility App and the printer.

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  Thank you very much.

  Paul.

  Hi Paul,.

  Download and install the HP Easy Scan application below:

  https://iTunes.Apple.com/us/app/HP-easy-scan/id967004861?MT=12

  Then, open the HP utility and try to activate the Scan of the computer again.

• OfficeJet 5740: officejet 5740 - scan of the computer cannot be activated - cause communication error

  2 weeks ago, I bought a HP officejet 5740 - installed the software and everything worked well. Unfortunately, the printer is dead, and I just got a new.  In order to start to 'clean up', I removed all HP on the Mac software - and then installed the printer. I can print - and scan using progtram analysis. The printer is connect via ethernet.

  This left me with 2 numbers

  (1) for installation, Setup fails when I reached the setting of alerts (communication error - please restart the program) try to configure alerts in HP utility fail - even once to the criticism fail - restart program

  (2) I'm not able to activate the scan of the computer on the Mac.  I get "communication failed" when I try to turn on the feature in HP utillity

  What I tried

  Delete all HP software (several times) and reinstall it again - still the same problem

  I removed the HP software and used the diskutillity to fix the rights - and reinstalled him brand new - still same problem.

  I have reset the printingsystem on the mac - still the same problem

  I still think it's weird - because everything worked great with the first printer I had! -replace it with a similar one caused the problem.  And this isn't the printer - because scan to computer works with my wife PC

  I have run out of ideas - and hopes that someone can solve this problem!

  Carsten

  Thank you for your reply - the problem is now resolved.  It seems that when you run Uninstall HP also something with the printerdrives provided by Apple update. I noticed that version 3.1 was installed on March 2, when I installed the first printer, I bought (the one who broke down) in all my tests, uninstalling and installing the drivers, I have checked apple update, it says no new updates, but last night he said suddenly that there was an update and then it reienstalled the 3.1 drivers HP again - and surpirice the problem has been solved.

  Thank you for your quick response!

  HP Photosmart 5510 scan to computer Dell Windows 7

  When I try to scan it is not computer.  When I go to control panel and open printer tell him told him it cannot activate.  I recently paid Panda Security $150.00 to fix this and I still have the problem.

  My suggestion: allow from your computer and you'll have more options of its software too. Please try (Windows):

  (a), double-click on the icon on the desktop.

  b click on Manage scan of the computer,

  (c) allow.

  Kind regards.

• "The scan of the computer is enabled is no longer" false error

  Hello

  I bought and installed a HP DeskJet 3521. It is configured for wifi connectivity to two computers on our home network. A laptop computer is 8 64-bit Windows. The other is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

  The printer seems to work perfectly. However, the driver regularly (as in all the several minutes or so) pops up a message saying "the Scan of the computer is enabled is no longer" or something like that. It is apparent from the system tray. It fades after a few seconds. Otherwise the printer seems to work very well. This happens on two laptops.

  Laptops are in the same room as the printer and the router. The signal strength is high.

  Why did this message occurring and is there a solution for this?

  Thank you

  It is very probably the same problem I had with the HP printers for years.  It happens when the printer goes into a power saving sleep state and falls of connectivity.  To resolve the issue, you have to walk on the printer and the power of the cycle.  It has NOTHING to do with your router or static/dynamic IP allocation.  It's the fault of crappy entiely firmware and HP software.  HP 'experts' are playing the same game of blame-the-other-manufacturer or blame the old user that HP has always played.

  My current HP printer is the third HP sub-standard product I've owned... on three (Yes, I know, shame on me twice).  I've owned a high-end, expensive laptop which overheated during playback of a video to youtube and two printers which disengages automatically when they entered in the mode 'sleep'.  It will be the last HP product I already own...

• HP envy 5530: impossible to activate scan of the computer!

  I have a macbook air and I wanted my hp 5530 for a few years and it has worked very well. Then I was unable to scan directly to my macbook, so I followed the instructions of troubleshooting - uninstalled the hp software and then re-installed. After the 3rd re - install, scan to computer worked for a day and now I can't do it again!

  I can't check the box 'Enable the scan of the computer' in the hp utility - WHY? Can someone help me please no copy and paste the instructions of troubleshooting, I read the already. What do I have to uninstall and reinstall again?

  Hello
  The HP scanning application is not compatible with Sierra, so you may experience problems.
  Remove the HP scanning by moving it to the trash, then empty the trash.
  
  Instead install HP Easy Scan below, it will be installed in the Applications folder:
  http://FTP.HP.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/OSX/installations/Essentials/HP-easy-scan-1_7_0.pkg
  
  If you experience additional problems, ensure that the latest version of the software is installed by following HP Easy Start below:
  http://FTP.HP.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/OSX/applications/HP_Easy_Start.app.zip
  
  Finally, make sure that your drivers are up-to-date by clicking the Apple icon, select about this Mac and then press on software update.
  Click on the Bank on the menu bar, click Reload Page, click all update if an update is available.
  
  Kind regards
