Hi @ufohouse,

Thank you for joining the HP Forums!

I saw your post about how you can not scan computer with your HP Envy 4500 on Mac OS X 10.11. And I'm happy to help you!

How is the printer connected, wireless or USB?

To confirm that the hardware of the printer is functional, you are able to make a copy with the glass of the scanner of the printer? Copy of Documents.

What happens if you try to scan from Apple Image Capture?

Figure: screenshot Image Apple

  1. Place the document or photo face down on the scanner glass, and then close the scanner cover.

    If your printer has an ADF (ADF), you can use it to scan multi-page documents at the same time. No pictures load in the ADF to not damage the photos and the printer.

  2. Open Finder , click OK in the menu bar, click Applications, and then double-click the Image Capture.

  3. Click on the name of your printer in the devices or shared list.

    NOTE:

    If that device software is not installed message appears when you select your printer, click on install, and then follow the instructions to complete the installation.

  4. Click on show details at the bottom of the screen.

    An overview of scanning opens, then change the following settings:

    • Scan Mode: select the scan bed or the automatic document feeder, depending on where you have loaded the original on the printer.

    • Type: scan as color, black and white, or optimized for text documents only.

    • Resolution: higher resolution produces better image quality using as many dots (pixels) per inch. A higher resolution increases the size of the analysis file. Use a higher resolution for scans with graphics or items that need to be the best details. If you scan a black and white text, higher resolution is not necessary.

    • Size: use a standard paper size, or select the use custom size option.

    • Scanning to: select the folder you want to save in analyses.

    • Name: type a name for the saved analysis file.

    • Format: select the type of file for analysis.

      NOTE:

      Select PDF or TIFF format, and then select the check box next to combine in a single document to save documents to multiple pages or multiple images in a single file. This feature is only available with these formats.

    • Image correction: click on the pop-up menu, and then select manual to display the color change options such as brightness and saturation.

  5. Click on scan.

  • 4500 envy: Can no longer connect to HP Envy 4500 EWS.

    Suddenly, I can not connect to page of EWS for my printer (wireless) via the Printer Wizard. 198.168.1.108 does not connect. I can still print and scan but unable to connect to SAP.

    Hi onslo,.

    Thanks go to the forum to Support HP for a solution to your built-in Web server problem.

    I understand that you have a HP ENVY 4500 e-all-in-one printer connected wirelessly to a PC Windows 7, and even though you can print and scan wireless, you are unable to access SAP by using the email address of the printer. I would like to help with that.

    It is an interesting question because if you are able to use the wireless printer, you should be able to access the built-in Web server.

    You see errors, or messages?

    Is the network in a home environment or work?

    It might help to begin by restarting the router, if you can.

    Try restarting the router and back with answers to my two questions so the router to start up doesn't help.

    I'll watch for your reply, so I study the issue further. Just reply to your convenience.

    Thank you.

    Hi Maryjon , thanks for getting back to me!

    I appreciate the info.

    I suggest to remove the printer from your printing system, using this document: uninstalling the software of the printer.

    Once you have deleted, I suggest to check and repair disk permissions: function to fix the permissions of all utility disk drive.

    I also run your Apple updates: OS x: Mac App Store apps and OS X update

    After the updates, I recommend you to reinstall the series HP ENVY 4500 full feature software and drivers.

    Good luck and please let me know how it goes!

    Last week I was able to print to my HP Envy 4500 to my MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, both running El Capitan.  However, when I went to print today, no computer cannot find my printer.

    I tried everything I found on these forums of discussion... the network reset, feeding all turned off, turning off iPv6, etc. anything.

    I have a USB cord used to print today and when I went in the connected USB printer utility, I could select Configure the wireless, but again, make the message: not accessible device.  It notes the wireless network, the settings were downloaded successfully on my device, however, your Mac could not locate the device on the network.   My Mac is both connected to the same wireless network.

  • All Mac computers in campus can not download updates of Adobe

    Recently, I received several complains of students said that they cannot download Adobe update on Mac computer working net campus, including the costume CC Adobe and Adobe Flash Player.

    Here is a point that I have tried:

    1. download and install Adobe Flash Player on Windows, success with downloading and installing computers.

    2. download and install Adobe Flash Player on the Mac computers, successful to download the package, but failed during installation. I tried on different Mac, but it shows the same error message. I have attached the screenshot below

    3. I've also attached a screenshot of Adobe CC update failure.

    This means that there are two different servers for Mac and Windows updates download? Why there is no problem under Windows but error on Mac?

    What is the address of the server to update Adobe and ports for Mac update? So that I can check again on the firewall rules, even I did several times.

    Hello

    You can install the software on two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or everyone.

    If you install on a third computer, you will be asked to turn off this feature on the other two computers. You can then re-enable one of the two previous computers and use Cloud Creative apps on it.

  • HP Envy 4500/Series: Cablelink (Austrian cable service) / installation HP Envy 4500 series problem

    Hi, I have a new HP Envy 4500, and it does not connect to my wireless network. He sees the correct SSID (using WPA - PSK / TKIP or AES), but he will not join the network after providing the WPA key. Printing test results shows a FAILURE on > parameters - without filtering. I don't know if I use MAC filtering on the network, because I don't know how to check this on this modem.

    I am also unable to join using the WPS procedure. I tried with and without a USB connection. I have 5 other wireless devices on the network, which all connect without any problems.

    In addition, I put static IP details on the Panel after reading the HP forum where this problem was stated by setting just the IP address and no subnets. Still no connection

    The printer works via USB ok.

    I got it connected to my neighbors A1s wi - fi network.

    I have a new wireless network to cable and modem put cable in the last week connected to Cablelink. I have a new router Cisco EPC3940. I tried to restart, connection to WPS and wireless USB connected. Reset the printer and modem and tried with and without using a static IP address.

    I tried to reconnect to my neighbors A1 connection - success.

    I tried with USB lead-success

    I tried direct to print without wire-success

    I tried to share wireless USB by using HP software-failure

    I tried the HP PC don't doctor too - no available solutions.

    I have read and tried several fixes on the HP forum-no success

    The fault is clearly my printer connect to my cable modem wireless (or my printer connect to my wi - fi of Cablelink) like all other connection works!

    I posted at the end of a similar position, but did not respond. Help please.

    Carl

    I finally solved this problem after 2 weeks of trying everything! Based on the above comment from BH, I thought that I had to turn off my radio show from 5 Hz. My new router has prevented to me because of the way Cablelink run their software. However, I finally got access to change it. I disabled 5 Hz. I still have the invalid password! Then, I changed the predefined WPA WPA2. It worked. I turned on my 5 Hz back show, the printer is remained connected. I then changed back to WPA2 and immediately lost connection! I put it to WPA and it connected again! I did NOT change key wireless, he remained at 16 characters, just the level of security! It seems if I want my Envy NEW 4500 with UPDATE drivers on my wireless network, I have to REDUCE my password security, which comes by default with modems cable new with Cisco, and accept the WPA! The strange thing is my old Iphone 4 and my old Apple TV both connected without problem. Therefore more recent Iphone to my wife 5 c and our newest Samsung UHD TV. So why a NEW model of printer is sold in stores right now, not able to work on WPA2? I lost 2 weeks on this issue before the sort it! It works, but I'm not happy! Same HP UK failed to connect after 4 hours on their online chat and remote assistance online! I worked it out myself from the comment by BH! Thanks BH. HP POST PLEASE A REPLY ON THIS THREAD WHEN YOU FINALLY WRITE A SOFTWARE FOR YOUR PRINTER TO WORK ON WPA2. MAYBE YOU CAN EMAIL CISCO IN ORDER TO WORK OUT HOW TO DO THIS BETWEEN YOU.

  • HP Envy 4500 series: printers has been removed

    Help, please! I accidentally reset my settings to the printer when you try to restart my printer because it was frozen. I tried to reinstall the printer several times but failed. When I'm in the printers option in my settings, I tried clicking on the button "+" to add my printer, but have been unable to get it to connect. It is completely wireless and I can not get the printer to appear in any screen. When I got to my printer a few months ago, my computer basically put it all for me. No cables needed. I desperately need help my printer because I am a graduate student and need to print almost every day. Any help would be wonderful I've exhausted all possible ideas I have.

  • HP envy 4500 prints not windows 8. Think that it prints, but it doesn't.

    I'm trying to print from my Toshiba laptop running Windows 8 for my HP Envy 4500 wireless. Worked very well for my ipad, worked very well for my desktop and laptop computers running Windows 7. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver of printer 5 times. Printer is recognized, has an IP address and print an internal test page. When I print to it from my machine Windows 8, the file goes into the queue, gets a port and then disappears as if it was printed. Nothing prints. Please help, it's SO frustrating.

    Hello

    I understand that you have done the process several times, and I definitely understand how that can be frustrating. I was wondering if you tried HP printer installation wizard to reinstall because it can often install things missing if this is the case here. If you have not tried, but I would like if you could try now and we can go from there if the problem persists. Thank you!

  • HP envy 4500 problems scanning - used to work, now, not so much

    I tried to solve this problem for over 3 hours now so apologies if shows my frustration.

    Equipment:

    MacBook pro under OS X 10.9.2

    Apple airport express router

    HP Envy 4500 all in one printer/scanner

    I can print without problem.

    Using the HP Scan application, I get this message:

    My camera looked good in regards to connectivity on my computer in system preferences, then I went to the screen of printer control in the menu 'Wireless' and I tried to redo the wireless configuration. I typed in my network name and the printer can't find my network. I have continued in any case, left the network name in and typed the wi - fi password, still no luck.

    So I tried the WPS in place. The screen just kept looking, and nothing connected.

    So, I tried to download the drivers from the HP site and guess what? The driver is installed on my hard drive, but then set it up the window of the HP utility can't find my device is:

    I tried to connect the printer directly to the computer with the USB cable, just so he could download the driver, he got as far as the next step, "Configuring device" and who doesn't work anymore:

    I tried to restore the default settings on the printer.

    I tried uninstall & reinstall - oh, but then we encounter the same problem.

    And during all this, the printer has frozen several times, so I had to unplug the power to restart.

    I restarted my computer and my router. I did everything listed to. The printer does not have the router in Setup Wizard, and in the HP utility, it does not find my printer, BUT I CAN PRINT.  Just doesn't scan.

    For some reason, I can PRINT wireless with no problems. But the scanner do not think that my router or my computer is. I can not open even the utilities EVEN when it is connected DIRECTLY with USB, I get this message:

    I am beyond frustrated, I'm about to throw it at the wall. Please if anyone has a solution, I'd like to hear it. This printer is not even 5 months old. I HATE when things are not working. I can understand if I did something to it, but I did nothing else until it turned off for a few days.

    Note: I WAS able to scan before without a problem. The only thing I can think is that I put my printer off for a few days because I was not using it.

    Ugh. OK, it's been 4 hours.

    Hi, if anyone else has this problem, read this post, it has solved the problem for me:
