ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One-Series: 4500 want don't scan text to produce a searchable PDF file

I used to have a printer Photosmart 4400 C that would allow me to scan to produce searchable PDF files, i.e. I could select letters or words in a text selection tool in my PDF reader.   Today, I just bought a DESIRE 4500 e-All-in-One-Series.  It will scan only text to give me a graphic PDF that is not searchable.  I've updated to the latest version of the EN4500_198.exe driver, but it does not help.

Does anyone have a solution?

Hello

No, the 4500 desire doesn't have any default OCR software, you will have to pay for the software and believe it or not, that the software is more expensive than the printer itself. You can buy the software or you can try to use some free software around:

  • HP Envy 7640 e-all-in-one Seri: HP Envy 7640 does not print

    Printer locked up - line said that the printer's paper (not) and it was offline (no). I unplugged, restarted the computer and the printer. Followed all the basic troubleshooting tips and stupidly the suggestion to reset all printers. Big mistake, now zero printers happen when I try to add. The search option does not either. Is it my computer? I don't think so. This is a NEW printer - printer only a dozen or so articles. Help, please!

    Welcome to the HP community @ellumare,

    I read on your desire 7640 does not although you receive an "Out of Paper" error, the printer showed as 'offline' and currently cannot add printer on your Mac with 10.7.

    Here's what I would recommend. Try troubleshooting the equipment first, because if there is a problem with the unit, this will lead to software problems and troubleshooting cycle can get tedious.

    1. power reset the printer and make sure the printer is plugged directly into the wall, avoiding bars power and surge protectors. This ensures that the printer is full on.

    Turn on the printer.
    With the printer, unplug the power cord at the back of the unit.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the back of the unit.
    If the printer does not by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.

    2. try to make a copy of the front of the printer. If the work of copies successfully, go to step 3, if the copies do not work, tell me what happens when you try to make them as there is most likely a hardware problem.

    3. from your Mac:

    1. Reset the printing system
    2. Repair disk permissions
    3. Restart the Mac.
    4. Click on this link to download and install the full features and software driver: HP ENVY 7640 e-all-in-One Printer series full feature software and drivers
    5. Print from text editing and other test applications and also try to scan from HP Scan/HP Utility.

    I hope this helps, and I hope to hear the result!

    Tip: Make sure that the printer is plugged directly into the wall, avoiding bars power and surge protectors. This ensures that the printer is full on.

  • HP Envy 7645 e-all-in-one-seri: screen scanning / Scan to computer / select a computer

    The screen scanning / Scan to computer / select computer

    "Select computer" shows a computer that no longer exists... How can I remove the computer? Before getting rid of the computer, the printer software has been uninstalled.

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @SandyLY 

    I read on the way in which you no longer have a certain computer, however, the printer it still lists as a detection option of.

    1. I'd say trying to power cycle the network devices first, which can remove this PC in the list of printers:
    Turn off the printer and the computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press the buttons on the router).
    Plug the router back in and wait another minute, turn on the printer and the computer.

    Check the printer to see if the PC you have more is always listed or not.

    2. If the PC is still listed on the printer, check out this guide to set up the scan of the computer to the correct computer:

  • HP ENVY 5644 e-all-in-one Prin: I want to print in black and white

    Hello

    I wanted to print in black and white but still my printer print in color when there is a picture in the paper, it's really annoying because when I go to the properties of the printer I press black and white or black press ink only then when I press on save, I'll be back in the printer properties to find her back to color No matter how many times I put it in black and white it goes back to color. I tried pressing black and white and not return to the printer properties, but it still prints in color. Also, I changed my default settings of the printer in black and white through the control panel and tap Save. When I go into Control Panel, its saved printer properties such as black and white by default, so that's good. But for some reason when theres color of text or an image on the page I want to print, I can not change to print in black and white, keeps coming back to color.

    Please help me!

    Hello @Matthew002, hope you are well!

    Thank you for joining the HP support forums, I would like to help

    I understand that you are having problems when printing in black and white and also the printer goes "offline".

    Going through your post, this could be a problem with the printer drivers. In this case, we might need to uninstall the drivers and re - install the same.

    Now try to change the printing preferences:

    • Go to control panel - devices and printers - give Envy 5640 right-click and select Printing Preferences.
    • In the pop-up window, click on the 'Advanced' button - check for printing in grayscale option. Make sure it is turned on

    PS: Your printer support mode single cartridge. So if you want to completely stop color printing you can get out the color cartridge and use only black.

    Let me know if this helps. Good luck!

    See you soon

  • want to 4500 all-in-one series

    I bought an envy4500 all in one series and after all tests and installation correctly, I had only one problem: when I print from excel files including 'grid' the printer will print all the lines in files. Sometimes jump the line grids, then print two or three grids correctily and back to the grid (lines). I made a copy of old copies and the copy was perfect.

    Thank you

    jbtpa

    Impression in 'best' or 'quality' mode should solve your problem.

    Alternatively, you can also use any other border style in Excel and it should print correctly.

    I would be grateful if this does not resolve your problem, or a problem on something other then Excel, border 'Style 2' in mode 'Normal' or 'Draft' hearing.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    If you try to connect your printer to the router, you should make sure that wireless Direct is trurned to offshore. Direct wireless is a feature that allows you to connect a device directly to your printer without router (the printer generates its own wifi)

    Please turn off direct wireless (it's often a button on the front panel) and try to connect again.

  • 8.1 Windows Pro update the problem (from Windows 8 Pro) on Envy 23 TouchSmart all-in-One...

    Hello

    I have a HP Envy 23 Touchsmart all-in-one that I bought a year ago (12/2012). It comes preinstalled with Windows 8.

    System information:

    (a) Intel (r) Core i7 - 3770 S CPU @ 3.10 GHz

    (b) 8192 MB of RAM

    A few weeks after that I had bought the system, I've upgraded to Windows 8 Pro with Media Center that I bought through Microsoft upgrade program.

    Last week (19/10/2013), I saw the option upgrade to Windows 8. 1 in the store and decided to upgrade.

    After a few minutes, I got a prompt asking me to restart the computer, and I did.

    However, I noticed that the screen has turned white, but it restarts not really - I have seen that the hard drive light was still flashing and I waited for about 15 minutes. I know it does not restart because if that were the case I would have seen the HP logo on the screen of the BIOS. A little later, the system entered into mode 'sleep' (at least the light blinked slowly as if it was the sleep). As it was late at night, I decided to leave the system alone and decided to check on it the next morning. The next morning, he was still in mode 'sleep' (as I feared) - when I tried to wake up from her sleep by moving the mouse/hit the return key, he did the exact sounds as if he were to wake up from its sleep (as it always does), but the screen is still blank. The light power button lit up constantly indicating he's awake now.

    At this point, I decided to turn off the system by holding the button for a few seconds. To restart, I saw the HP logo on the BIOS boot screen and the screen went white and nothing came.

    So I decided do a system recovery using my Windows 8 recovery CD and turn off the system with the CD in its niche. This time, the system came and began immediately to restore my OS to a previous version.

    After connecting to the system recovered, I received the following message:

    "Could not update for Windows 8.1.

    Sorry, we could not complete the update Windows 8.1. We have restored the previous version of Windows on this computer.

    0xC1900101 - 0 x 40019.

    I tried to reinstall Windows 8.1 a couple of times after that. Once to disable all non-Microsoft services and disabling all startup programs. Always the same result.

    I have no antivirus software on my other system protection of Microsoft default system software.

    Any help, greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    I have disabled active secure boot existing starter and the update worked.  Now we get the error of watermark "secure boot not configured correctly.  But I have re-enabled secure boot and the error disappeared.
