How to scan from HP scanning software:

1. on the desktop of your computer, open the HP printer Assistant. It should look like a black printer icon on your desktop ().

2. once the Printer Wizard opens, select scan a Document or Photo

  • Why can't scan to PDF with acrobat reader dc

    I've recently updated to Adobe Reader and can no longer scan documents to pdf format. I can scan tif or jpeg not a pdf file.  I heard that I have to buy something from Adobe that will allow this function. Is this true?

    REader NEVER did this. But maybe your scanner came with scan-to-PDF software.

  • HP deskjet 3055a: can't choose my network on the printer hp deskjet 3055a

    I changed my router with an Apple Aiport Extreme 2nd generation but now I can't connect my printer to the wireless network: the integrated printer display does not provide a menu in which I could choose any wifi network. I have already connected this printer to the network even a couple of years ago, but at that time there I probably used the software from the cd provided, which is no longer compatible with OS X 10.10 Yosemite. I can not even find an update to this software on Hp.com, since he says that it is just enough to use the Apple driver for the use of the printer.

    How can I configure wifi now?

    Hello

    To work around this and the pritner to connect to your wireless network, follow these steps:

    1. Press the wireless button, click the button next to settings, click the button next to the setting.
    2. Press the wireless button, click the button next to settings, then on the button next to Enable Wireless (if they are presented... so disable Wireless does not skip this step).
    3. Turn the printer and then on again once, make sure that the wireless is turned on the blue wireless light flashes.
    4. Since the Mac, click the WiFi icon, then join the other networks.
    5. Click view the networks and select the HP Deskjet 3055 rated network.
    6. Open Safari and go to http://192.168.223.1.
    7. Open the network tab, and then select wireless configuration wizard.
    8. Follow the steps to connect the printer to your wireless router, once you have completed the wireless light should turn on solid.
    9. Reconnect the Mac on your home network, and then add the printer under printers & Scanner by clicking the button "+" if it is not already listed.

  • OfficeJet Pro L7780 can't scan to PDF

    I have an OfficeJet Pro L7780 HP sent me after giving up on a 7310xi of fixation. I installed the software a message received a 'fatal error' on the error code 2203. He went ahead and installed OK - I thought. I even went to www.hp.com/support and searched this error code. From what I gathered, it had something to do with registration it... so I do not download their fix. Once installation is complete, I went in the scanning settings, because I scan a little bit. I discovered that the PDF file option did not appear in document scanning settings. Only BMP, JPG, TIF, PNG, PCX and FPX are listed, which are, in effect, the types of files that do not exist in the image scanning settings. It's as if the software loaded the same types of files in the settings of the document scanning and photography.

    I wonder now if the fatal error message actually related to this problem.

    Any advice... below to uninstall the entire package and start over again?

    Thank you...

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have installed Adobe Acrobat.

    I finally abandoned and went on the website to the address support HP Contact online us, and they have solved my problem. They put me installation disk, click the add additional software option and install the OCR software. Once I did that, the PDF option, along with others, appeared in the output file to scan a Document.

    Go figure.

    Thanks again.

  • scan to PDF or missing the twain interface

    Series of HP D110 printer/scanner, prod # CN731A

    When I arrived to this printer, she had a scan to the pdf option, but after installing the updates, the feature was lost somewhere. Specifications also state that there is a twain interface for this device, but it is not in the software.

    I use the scanner probably more than the printer. It's an ugly printer, jams a lot. How can I scan to PDF? Find a twain interface for this?

    I used to love the HP printers, but lately all I got seems to be worse than the last. I got it at a great price for an emergency situation. Indicates that the warranty expired before I bought the printer!

    TWAIN is integrated in the HP Solution Center, software of digitization. This is the interface that our software uses to communicate with the printer. If you want just a standalone scanning application, I recommend you search your computer for the "HPSCAN.exe", but according to the version supplied with your software, it can just implement the Solution Center. I know that some versions have their own independent analysis component, but I saw where it was incorporated with the solution center software.
