Connected wireless, printer but not scan

Well I just bought the 120 want wireless printer. It is connected wireless to my Mac. It allows to print but when I try to scan it does not find my computer. I entered the printer utility and selected scanning to computer, but keep the error message it is not communicating with the printer. (Of course, it's because I can print wireless). Is there a solution to this problem. My wife is running windows and it works perfectly for her through the wireless.

I spoke to a representative from HP who went on the site of Apple and downloaded the latest version of the MAC compatible print driver. It took to connect with 4 different representatives of HP to solve the problem. I understand the difficulty, however, I think that technicians need to get on the same page. How one Tech may know exactly what to do, then the 3 others sent me in a different direction? The problem has been resolved so thanks to HP staff.

    Hi @Mrkil1o1,

    Welcome to the HP Forums! I'd love to help you to scan from your 5530 craving for your Mac. I understand from your description that it worked well when you have 10.10, but since the upgrade to 10.11 you can print but not scan.

    Let's start with resetting the printing system, uninstalling the software, repair the permissions of the drive and re - install & re-add the printer:

  • HP 2210 printer all-in-one: after updating WIndows 10, I can print but not scan with my HP 2210 all in one

    I've updated to Windows 10 and since then I can print but not scan with my HP 2210 all-in-one printer.  I tried to download the software updates, but nothing seems to work.  Any suggestions

    Hi @Sajapand @ddegan

    I see that you both scan problems after upgrade to Windows 10, and I may be able to help.

    Most of the products have updated software available on the HP support Web site for Windows 10.

    I also saw a few posts that say Windows 8.1 driver works for Windows 10 as well, then you could try also.

    HP provides a free tool called HP Print and Scan doctor to diagnose and troubleshoot printing and scanning problems. I recommend you to download and run the HP print and Scan Doctor , if she doesn't fix it automatically I would know what errors or messages that you receive.

    Do you know if you are able to scan using paint?

    On the main screen on the printer, press return, cancel, back, back button successively. You see Help menu, press the ok button, then use top / down arrow button to find the menu reset, reset complete semi selection and press the ok button.

    It's troubleshooting last step which I recommend. If this does not solve your problem unfortunately you will need to replace the printer.

  • HP1217nfw wireless printer - print but not scan - Windows 8

    Hello

    I can print over the network, but cannot scan.

    HP print and scan doctor can see the printer but says I need to install the full software suite. I follow this link and download more free. Where install the 1217nfw is not found by the installer.

    Before the manual ip address does not work.

    Firewall is set to 'off' local and network.

    I tried to do the 1217nfw the printer by default - not yet found by the installer.

    Can someone please help.

    Hi Hein_Aggenbag,

    I can't wait to hear that you have questions.  The firewall/antivirus can block specific components.  Try disabling the security through MSConfig program services, and then try to add the device software.  Also copies multiples or installs can cause this problem as well. remove all components before running the full functionality can also help. Please click here to complete the following steps to resolve this type of problem.  The information below will be useful for further measures to be taken if the above does not resolve the problem.

    1. at the first successful installation from a CD-ROM or by download (errors, unable to find the device, etc.)?

    2. is the device connected wirelessly or through an Ethernet cable?

    I hope this helps!

  • Color LaserJet MFP Pro 277dw: MFP will print but not scan since update Mac OS 10.10.5

    I had used my LaserJet MFP Pro wireless without problem for several years, with the Mavericks and Yosemite.  A few weeks ago a "update" the printer system is invisible.  After several hours of troubleshooting and to try five or six corrections, I finally got the printer online by using the IP address.

    My computers, however (a performer of the Mavericks and a Yosemite running), do not see the scanner.  It's not a question of adding - they do not to add it.  By HP support, I have reset the system print and tried to start over.  I downloaded HP Easy Print (or Easy Start or whatever), which is the entire site of support in the way of software for the 277dw of the ACM.  The software through me the entire upward and congratulated himself for a job well done, but my printer was not, in fact, related.  He appeared in the printers Control Panel, but would not print.  Just "connecting to printer" in the queue for ten minutes about until what I called off work.  And the scanner does not yet show in the Image Capture, preview or HP Easy Scan.

    So, I went back to my previous fix for the printer, use the IP address.  Any ideas on how to get the scanner appears?

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 more print but not scan

    I have an Officejet Pro 8600 and I use Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) and it print and copy but will not scan. I had a hell of a time trying to get this thing to scan - I even spent an hour and a half with HP technical support and they could not fix it and finally gave up and call me Micro$ oft said that it must be a windows problem (Windows is up to date, incidentally).

    I tried to open the scanner software and nothing happens when I click the icon - the loading icon flashes for a second, then only the mouse pointer. Nothing happens if I try to boot from all programs. Nothing happens if I try to scan to the computer of the other printer told me the failure of sweeping and that there could be reasons of severalpossible (unrelated, software used, etc.).

    I have installed and uninstalled. A couple of times he was having trouble with the installation, but finally got it connected. Once it would not uninstall in Control Panel until I did it directly from the HP folder. I connected it by USB and wireless. I installed the version of bloatware. I cleaned that out and I tried the only version of drivers. The HP support person had me go and removed a bunch of stuff in the registry. I tried to run as an administrator. Nothing works. I even tried to scan using Windows Fax and scan. I disabled Kaspersky and made sure that my firewall is turned off.

    I am at my wits end with this and certainly regret my purchase at the moment. Help!

    Hello, it happens to the analysis of Windows (WIA) and generates an error:

    "The Windows Imaging service does not work... If the problem persists, you will not be able to scan using the applications that use this service, such as Microsoft Paint. Scanning software HP could still work. »

    It asked me to restart, and then re-run the diagnostic tests, but I got the same result.

    Then, I jumped to HP Scanner Twain and got another error:

    "The Twain component is not working properly because the product is used by another process. Save your work and close all applications. Turn the product off, turn it on again, and then click on restart and repeat the test. »

    He told me then the problem persists to uninstall the software, then reinstall the Full Feature software (I did, but available).

    * EDIT

    Problem solved!  After you had me run the diagnostic tool I googled the WIA problem and found that many other people had the same problem. A person has a response from Micro$ oft saying that it was a Windows 7 issue and how to fix it - this is the text I found:

    To start the WIA service, you need start all services of dependence. To start the dependency services, please follow the steps mentioned below:

    -> > click on start-> type "services.msc" and press ENTER, once you get up the services window, please do the rest steps.

    -> > first check and write down all the dependency services: -

    -> > right WIA-> properties-> tab dependence, check the services of name listed there.

    It must contain the following services:

    * RPC remote Procedure Call

    -> > DCOM Server process Launcher

    -> > RPC end point mapper

    * Detection material core

    Make sure that all of the above services are started in the services list.

    Last time, we started the Detection hardware Kernel, which solves our problem.

    (Andy, it's important.  Choose "Detection hardware Kernel ' and start this service which should start your 'Windows Imaging Acquisition '.  If it does not then select WIA and change the departure to "automatic".  This fixed my problems) after all dependency services start, please try to start, WIA service to solve the problem of .                                                                                                                                                                                       

    (For those who are doubtful with computers, like me, when you click on the start icon, you can type services.msc in the box of research programs or click on run and type it in there). Once inside the list of services, you can look at the dependencies by right-clicking on the Windows Image acquisition service and selecting Properties. Take note of these dependencies. Then back to the main list and watch to see if these dependencies are started. My Shell Hardware Detection says disabled, so I right click on it; However, starting selection is grayed out and I couldn't select it from the drop-down list box, so Startup type I selected Automatic, apply, close the Services window and then started my Scan software and presto, it worked.

    Thanks for setting me on the right track!
