HP ENVY 4500 CN36V1P183: Scanning problems

My Mac OS 10.11.4

I was able to scan by clicking on HPscan.app.  Now, I get this message.

Scan reported an error. HP ENVY 4500 series AirPrint is currently unavailable.  Please check if it is connected and turned on, or try again later.    Where can I find AirPrint?

I also used to be able to scan using HP Scan Pro.app.  Now I get a message Sorry, scanner could not be initialized. (Scanner not found)

Hi @karenjoygreen,

Thank you for joining the Forums of HP Support!

I understand that you are unable to scan with your HP Envy 4500 printer. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

You are unable to scan because the driver of Airprint support printing only, do not scan. It is possible that an Apple update he could change.

To resolve this problem, it must add the printer using the HP driver.

Fix permissions of the drive on the Mac:

  1. Close all applications.
  2. In the Apple menu, click OK, click Applications, and then click utilities.
  3. Double-click disk utility.
  4. Highlight your hard drive / partition on the left.
  5. Click on check and then repair disk permissions.
  6. Restart the computer.

Reset the printing system:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer deleted can be re-added later by clicking the sign plus (+) symbol.

  1. Click on the Apple icon and then click on System Preferences.
  2. Click on Printers & Scanners.
  3. Make a right click (or Ctrl + click) in the left white side panel, and then click Reset Printing System.
  4. Click OK to confirm the reset.
  5. Type the name and the correct password.
  6. Click OK to reset the printing system.

Add the printer:

  1. Then click the + to add the driver, select the printer (you may need to click the drop down menu to select the name of the printer).
  2. Then click the Add button. Do not add driver AirPrint.
  3. Now, try to scan the image.

Hope that answers your question. Please reply to this message with the results. Thank you for posting!

  • HP Envy 4500: Claim Code problems. The printer is already done.

    Hello

    I am trying to add my new HP Envy 4500 to my account connected to HP, but when I enter the claim code, I get "the printer is already claimed. "In order to claim this printer, you must remove the previous owner.  Looking through the forum, it seems to be a fairly common problem.  I disabled / re-enabled web services to get a new code to claim, but it gives the same result.  I even reset the printer default and tried.  This time, connected HP indicated that it had saved my printer successfully, but when I go to the devices tab of the web page I am greeted with the message "it looks like you have not added all devices connected HP account".

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I'm hoping to use the instant program of HP ink, but unless I can add the printer to my account, I will not be able to.

    Thank you

    I managed to get this working afterwards by registering a new user account with HP with a different email address.  Not an ideal solution (and apparently not a rare either) but at least it works now.

    Hello @ginger20 ,

    Welcome to the HP forum.

    I understand that when you try to print, you get invited to a fax.

    I would like to help.

    When you install a fax printer capable it creates usually two icons.

    In your scenario, one would be HP Envy 4500 and other fax HP Envy 4500.

    More time in this case the default printer was set to the fax version.

    Go into devices and printers.

    Right-click on the fax printer no, and then select set as default.

    If you have only an icon, right-click it.

    Then hover over to set as default printer.

    This should produce a list of printers 'stacked' on this icon.

    I hope this helps. If you need more help please let me know.

    Hello

    Thank you for using the forum.

    To use the Scan software on your printer, you will need to download and install the printer driver.

    We recommend that you download the full features and it can be found here:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-envy-4500-e-all-in-one-printer-series/5304875/model/5304876#Z7_3054ICK0K8UDA0AQC11TA930C7

    Once you have installed the software, you can click the icon for the printer on the desktop and it will bring up the HP Printer Wizard and you can use the Scan software.

  • 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:

  • Scanning/printing with envy 4500 problem

    We had our combo printer for about 6 months... we had a problem with the printing of our laptop computer after you install the software. When you try to print, the dialog box shows the printer is offline, but it's not. We also have the software installed on our desktop. My question is, we are limited to a single computer for this printer and not both? If so, this is not cool. I have run diagnostics and just, it will not help. I uninstalled the software from the laptop and reinstalled. It worked today, but now I can not scan from my office. What is the problem?

    Hi @radiowizard,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see that your HP Envy 4500 printer is indicating that it is in offline mode. According to another post, you run that Windows 7 is that correct? I'm happy to help you with this problem of connection!

    This printer has USB connection or wireless connectivity options. If you wireless you can print with several computers, if computer USB and then one at a time.

    Please consult this guide, "Printer is off-line" Message appears on the computer and the printer does not print: Windows 7.

    Hope this guide clears things up for you and have a wonderful day!

  • EPrinter HP Envy 4500 Scan of the computer (HP Pavilion 14 Chromebook) / E-Mail?

    I just bought three HP Pavilion 14 Chromebook & HP Envy 4500 ePrinters for members of the family that I am trying to set up.  (I'm new to cloud computing).  Can I scan documents to PDF at the computer (Chromebook) / E-mail of the printer?  If so, how?  When documents arrive on the computer?  If the scan to e-mail is possible on the devices above, can I store several addresses e-mail ePrint in the printer choose?  Thank you!

    Hi eKeith,

    Thanks for shouting it and fast response.    No problem on other issues, it is we are here for.

    1. You will need to manually launch the built-in Web server.  What I've done in the past, it's just mark the ip address of the printer is to click instead of having to manually enter the IP every time. It works best if you set a manual ip address of the printer.  I've included a screenshot.
      1. Click on the "Network" tab in the SAP
      2. Click on 'Network' in the left side menu
      3. Click on 'network address (IP)' in the left side menu
      4. Click 'propose a manual IP address.
      5. Click on "Manual DNS server"
      6. For the server DNS preferred manual please enter 8.8.8.8
      7. For the auxiliary DNS Server Manual please enter 8.8.4.4

    2. There is no way to web analytics by default in pdf format.
    3. The default value corresponds to your "Downloads" folder, but you can switch to "Google Drive".
    4. If you click on the built-in web server Web Services tab, there is an option in the side menu on the left for updates. I've included a screenshot of where to find him.

  • ENVY 4500: Lack of scanning for HP ENVY 4500 software after reinstalling the laptop

    Dear support,

    I got a HP ENVY 4500, installed on a laptop with Windows 8.1 and the HP Software scanner worked fine.

    I have recently reinstalled the same laptop but with Windows 10 Pro: the printer works fine but the scanner software HP is not available! I can't use all the features of the printer this way...

    My question is: why the HP scanning software is not available for Windows 10 Pro? I used the original CD.

    Where can I download the (new) 10 Pro software for Windows?

    Please help me solve this problem.

  • HP Envy 4500 - Scan does not, most periodic freezing

    Hello

    I'm having a ton of problems with my HP Envy 4500. I will first start by scanning. First to get the "No found computer" message when you try to scan (I can print fine however). I tried HP Print & Scan doctor, he said I was not fully installed the driver. So I download the file ~ 100 MB, then it passes through basic facilities, then allows you to "Connect to printer", I'm wireless and enter the IP address (which is connected and Excellent report) and about 10 seconds later, he says: "cannot find the printer. My only options are the search, the installation program and cancel. Therefore, I can never get to install and he sends me in a loop. I also file & Printer sharing turned on with Windows 8.1, with the automatic configuration of network devices.

    Since the end of the printer, I've tried manual and automatic IP and also directly connect without a bit of luck. In addition to these frustrations adds the printer freeze about every 10-15 minutes. I have to disconnect and reconnect the printer for it to work again because it is totally insensitive.

    Finally, my printer indicates an update is available, so I download a driver, but it ends with the OXB82EF9BA error code. All crashes again.

    I tried everything that I can for hours without success. Please notify.

    Hello Jesse_B,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you get some problems with your desire to 4500. I will do my best to help you! First of all, I need to know your operating system on the computer that is having these problems? Click here to read: Windows.

    Because you are having problems with the HP software, I'll give you a few steps to help:

    Please uninstall the software on your computer by following this document from HP about uninstalling the printer software. When it finished, I would like you to clean your Temp folder on your computer:

    1. click on the start menu, in search programs and files type % temp %

    2. press on Ctrl and together on your keyboard (this will highlight all)

    3. right click on your mouse and click on remove

    Now, perform a clean boot on your computer by following this Microsoft document here. This will eliminate the conflicts of software that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program.

    Secondly, I would like to you can use the Printer Wizard to install the full features software. This is the right software and you need to use a USB cord to perform this step. It will be much easier to find your wireless network. (It's only for the Windows operating system 7-8: 1).

    If you printer is still the gel, then make sure that the printer is connected to a live wall, not a surge protector. I want to see if that makes a difference. Also, try to reset the printer for more than 60 seconds. Leave the printer turned on > unplug the power cord at the back of the printer.

    You receive an error message "OX82EF9BA". This refers to an error in Windows Update. You must perform this update on your computer. Please post your results, I will be looking forward to hear from your part have a good night!

  • HP envy 4500: hp envy will print but not scan

    I just got a new computer with Windows 10. I have no problems wireless printing to my HP Envy 4500. However, I can't scan from the printer or computer. I downloaded the HP scan and capture the app on my laptop. When I click on "capture the Photo" or "Document of Capture" in the application, I can hear the printer starts to scan, but then I get a "general failure". When I try to scan from the printer, the printer is "impossible to connect to the computer" (However, I am able to send something to print without problem).

    Then I connected my laptop via the usb port to the printer. When you try to scan from the printer, the printer is still unable to connect to my computer. When you try to scan from the HP app, it will sometimes (about 1 in 4 attempts), if I click on "Photo capture. However, it will never scan when I click on "Document capture. Getting a diagnosis of "General failure."

    I found the answer on another forum:
