cannot scan

cannot scan.  error message reads OCR application is not installed on the computer. AIO officejet 8600 windows xp

To resolve this error message, put the installation CD and run the installation of the software.

In the first screens of the installation, there is one that says "Install software", then check to see if theres a checkmark on I.R.I.S. OCR software

Then continue with the installation until the end.

Now, the analysis should work OK.

Kind regards

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • HP Photosmart D110 - cannot scan

    Just bought the HP Photosmart D110 yesterday and cannot scan.  I'm on a Mac (OS 10.6.4) and whenever I try to scan something, I get the following message:

    Hi all

    Looks like you have either a conflict between the old and the new HP software, or a corrupted installation of the Hp software.

    We can remedy easily enough.

    First, go here and download the latest version of the HP software on your desktop.

    Then we'll run the cleaning brush to remove all software that has been installed HP.

    To run the scrubber,

    Go to Applications/library/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP

    Click on continue

    Highlight your device in the left pane

    Hold down the Ctrl and Opt, as well as Apple and click on uninstall

    There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software.  (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled, this is why we do not run this thing all the time)

    Click on continue

    Let the full scrubber .

    Then start the HP software, you just download and follow throughout the installation procedure

    the operating system can find updates and others. If it asks you if you want to download them, accept you.

    Who should take care of it.

  • C7280 - cannot scan. Error message indicates another program has control over the device

    I open the HP Device Manager to do a scan. I accepted the parameters and the scanning started. But the part passing through the analysis, I stopped the scan that I realized that I wanted to change the resolution. I leave the Manager device and rebooted but when I did, I got to tell an error message:

    'Cannot perform the function you have requested because another program has control over ice dev'.

    I have nothing else open and so I can't work on what program has control over the printer.

    C7280 Prtinter. Mac OS x 10.7.

    The Device Manager has not been updated for Lion and there is still no specific Lion software for your printer.

    So far, you have the choice of scanning with picture Capture or preview.  I'm sorry.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 has Plus: HP Officejet Pro 8500 a cannot scan more on the purchase of Mac

    I have not had any problems using the printer or scanner on the HP Officejet Pro 8500 has more when I had my old laptop to Windows 7. There was some HP software installed from a CD that allowed me to open the HP application and adjust the settings for scans, save multiple scans in a single PDF etc...

    Since switching to a new Mac OSX desktop computer, I can't install it whatever that either the old CD from my Mac has no CD/DVD drive. The only application of HP on my Mac is now HP ePrint, and which does not seem to offer something to scan with.

    The other option that have left me is to connect the Mac to the printer by USB, then choose:

    Scan > computer > iMac > save in Jpeg.

    But I get the following error message:

    "Connection error".

    The connection to the computer is down or HP scanning application cannot detect the OCR software. Check the computer for more details".

    What do I need to install, or the difficulty to get the scanner to work on my Mac please?
