color HP Officejet 6600 scanning

I have an Officejet 6600 and I can't scan in color, black and white only. I guess it's a simple matter to change a default value, but I don't know where to. For reference, I use a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.8 operating system.

Thank you!

1 open the HP utility and select your device.
2. based on Scan Settings open the "Scan to Computer".
3. click on the tab scan tasks.
4. Select the affected shortcut and click on change... (or double-click on the shortcut).
5. in the section of scanning from an HP device, click the blue triangle or button view details to expand the menu.
6. in the expanded menu now, open the drop-down next to the Mode
7. now select the color option, and then click OK to save the changes. The next scanned using this workflow is displayed in color.

  • HP Officejet 6600: Fax/copy/scanning does not work

    I'm unable to use my fax/copy/scan on the printer functions.  The printer works well when printing from the computer.  I've done all the troubleshooting... Disconnect, restart it (printer and computer), etc.  All the reports that I ran to the 'troubleshooting' return with all PASSES.  But when I re - try these functions, the printer display "starting fax" or "Start scan" and "start copy."  I've been here for the last 10 minutes trying to get a copy, and the screen is still showing "start copy".  And while they are 'begins', I am unable to 'x', so I put off the printer.  The printer is 2 years old and we bought the extended warranty expired 2 months ago thanks for any help you can provide.

  • OfficeJet 6600: is it possible to enlarge a scanned picture?

    I have some pictures of 6 x 4 I've been scanning. But the analysis shows very small photos. Is there a way to keep the home but make them a little bigger?

    I can't find the DPI settings anywhere

    Hi @cgm707,

    I understand that you wonder if you can enlarge a picture scanned with your HP Officejet 6600 on Mac OS X 10.10. I'm happy to help you!

    You can try alternative methods of analysis within this post, Re: iMac OS X 10.9.3 scan driver for HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 a A910a to iMac doesn't seem to be, by my colleague @Sunshyn2005.

    Or, after the image is scanned and saved you can use a free image editor such as: The GNU Image Manipulation Program, to enlarge the photo.

  • HP Officejet 6600: Horizontal lines when scanning (digital glitch, no debris on scanner)

    Hello, can anyone advise on how to fix the horizontal lines that appear when you use the flat bed scanner (Hp Officejet 6600)?

    This function scan/unit worked well for a year and suddenly breakdowns at each attempt to analyze.  I went through several steps to try to resolve, including zero/restart the printer and the computer.   To clarify, this not a question of debris/ink etc on the bar of the Analyzer or glass; It's a digital bug (see attached image screenshot).

    I can't find many references about it on the HP forums or elsewhere.  If it helps you to offer a response, FYI I use a macbook, which has worked well with this scanner/printer until recently with this problem.  The printer function works fine.  Finally, I just downloaded the latest update from HP for this device through the App Store and it still gives the same error.

    Thank you for your consideration.

  • OfficeJet 6600 does not recognize my new HP Pavilion windows 8.1 for scanning

    I have a HP Officejet 6600 networking with my new HP Pavilion windows 8.1 it prints fine but does not recognize my computer when I want to scan. Whenever I want to scan a document to my computer I have to run Scan doctor. I called tech support and they can't help me because my printer is no longer under warranty as I bought it December 2012. but my office was purchased November 2013. They said that it is clearly a problem with the printer and not on the computer. They won't even talk to me or answer my questions without fees being paid first.  The scanner recognizes my laptop and desktop to the husband who have vista and 7, respectively. But I don't understand why it will print without difficulty and habit of scanning.

    Hi leila1964,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support.

    I want to offer a helping hand with the 8.1 of Windows not scanning with your HP Officejet 6600. When you run the HP print and Dr. Scan on the computer it says it fixes some thing or that it cannot fix what whether?

    Given that the printer works on the other two computers (Vista and 7), the problem is with the WIndows 8.1. I want to uninstall the printer software and the HP printer install wizard makes sure that we get the newest software possible.

    Let me know how it works.

    Thank you

  • Portable printer HP Officejet 6600: need of digitization program

    I bought my printer HP Officejet 6600 in January 2013.  I've installed all the programs on my old computer (Windows Vista). With the installation, I was able to print electronically, and there is a stock of Scanner program that allowed me to scan a Document or Photo to my computer. I recently bought a new computer (window 10).  I tried to use my HP disc to download these printer programs but was unable to do that because I got a message that the disc did not support Windows 10.  Can you help guide to get the programs of HP that I could access and download to my new computer which would give me the possibility to print electronic and scanned documents and photos (not via the USB port)?

    Why don't you just download the software Win 10 out of the HP web site for your printer. A simple search returns... http://support.HP.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-OfficeJet-6600-e-all-in-one-printer-series---H7/4322968/model/4323587

  • OfficeJet 6600 connects to the wifi network

    Hello

    I bought an Officejet 6600 and effortlessly connected to my wifi network, print and scan for a day. And there are two days that he stopped conntecting to the wifi network. In the meantime, our router turned off and turned back on. That's the only difference.

    First of all, the printer would not even detect the wifi network. I solved that by changing the configuration of the router (Cisco 3925 EPC) and passed under the Setup wireless "Wi - Fi protected setup" to "manual". I can now see the network on the printer again.

    But after that I've selected my wifi network and enter the WPA password, the printer tells me that the network connection is impossible. I printed a page of diagnosis, which told me that the problem is perhaps related to the MAC filter. But I have no MAC filters. I also tried to pass of WPA/WPA2 to WPA only, but that doesn't change anything.

    I also tried to set the mode wireless via the USB cable, but no avail. Everything seems to work, until the moment when he tries to connect to the wifi (screen with 'configuration' with the large antenna and pulses of radio waves).

    Should I give up and bring it to the store? I'm getting desperate!

    Thanks for your help in advance,

    Raphaël

    OK, to make sure I understand - the printer connects effectively to your wireless network, and well it works for a while once the printer goes to sleep, your computer or router may not wake.

    If this is the case there are a few things that we can try:

    1. in the settings of your router, make sure that the multicast is enabled.

    2. set the 2.4 GHz router to 11 channels.  I know it sounds weird, but please try.

    3. set an IP address of the printer:

    -Print a the front of the printer Network Setup Page. Note the IP address of the printer.
    -Enter the IP address in a browser to reveal the internal settings of the printer.
    -Choose the network tab, then wireless along the left side, then on the IPv4 tab.
    -On this screen, you want to set a manual IP address. You must assign an IP address outside the range that the router sets automatically (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') 250
    -Apply the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
    -Enter the IP of your router (on the Page of the Network Config) for the gateway.
    -Enter for the first DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for second DNS. It's Google DNS. You can choose a different external DNS if you wish.
    -Click 'apply '.

    Now, stop the router and printer, start the router, wait, and then start printing.
