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:

    How can I connect to iTunes that it used to work now it isn't

    When happens when you connect the iPod to your computer running iTunes?  You say it does not appear in iTunes at all?

    Look at the screen of the iPod when you connect it to the USB port on the computer?  He said not 'connected' or 'do not disconnect' or give another indication of a data connection?  Or is it just to show battery charge symbol?  Or not it reacts at all to be connected?

    Your computer is equipped with a Mac or a Windows PC iTunes?  If Windows, which free?

    Why is the box to remember password is gray? It used to work now it won't save them.

    This could be because you have set Firefox not remember the history. Who did you intentionally? It is defined in the Options dialog box:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > privacy

    Maybe it would work if you choose "Use the custom settings for history" and not to turn off specific things that you want to disable.

    A little luck?

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!

  • 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!

  • HP Envy 4500-cannot print in COLOR and do not give me an option. ONLY black and white shows option

    My test page for the HP Envy 4500 comes out beautifully with vibrant colors and without streaks.

    I can also print other devices with color.

    Not connected directly to my computer, I have no options to print in color.  Photos, web pages, PDF files all print in B & W.

    The other forum posts which give instructions to get out the cartridges do not solve the problem.

    I am printing from an OSX and I have genuine HP cartridges.

    If I unplug the USB printer and try to print wireless, it still doesn't print in color well can we of our two phones (ios and android).

    Help, please.

    I uninstalled everything and him reinstalled the HP Envy 4500 driver out of the site.  Now, it will be printed in color of all programs.

    Hope this helps someone

  • HP ENVY 15-j108la: scan fingerprints of validity does not not on Windows 10

    Since I've updated to win 10 that the finger scanner is not working, I did update the driver but nothing happened.

    Thanks in advance.

    See my post... http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/HP-4540S-can-t-access-fingerprint-reader-for-log-in-after/TD-p/5355106

    HP does not like the answer, but the pilot Valdity of fingerprints HP is not 10 compatible windows and unless they update, you will need to use a work autour... This has been reported in many messages of the forum

    This incompatibility has been confirmed by the support technology windows 10 after many sessions online

    1. download the Lenovo driver pack (Yes, I know that's not HP but it works... it is the Synaptics Windows 10 pilot and Sysnaptics now has Validity Sensor)

    2. go to Device Manager and open your biometric... remove the driver completely from the computer by using the Properties tab

    3 re-boot... If this biometrics again in Device Manager it means that there is another version of the pilot sensor HP validity on the computer... continue to do this uninstall/remove one by one until the biometric device is no longer displayed and you see an icon of material not identified on the menu tree

    4 charge/start the Lenovo driver package

    5 restart the computer

    6. go back to Device Manager and click on the device icon unidentified... go to the update / add a tab driver under the tab properties

    7. the driver package should appear in the laod of my computer... load the driver lenovo... you have now a finger print reader which shows as a Synaptics device

    8 restart the computer... you have now full use of the fingerprint reader in Windows 10 Hello (who will now appear as magically your accounts authentication option... you may need to set a PIN for Bonjour to work... some need some don't... you can do this first before doing the trick with the driver... I think that win 10 wants a PIN in place before allowing access to Hello)

  • XPS 13 - Wake from sleep using USB works, but not when lid closed?

    I mainly use my XPS 13 as a desktop replacement - I have the lid closed; monitor and a keyboard, a mouse connected (both wireless).

    I finally managed to get to wake up from its sleep by moving the mouse by activating 'allow this device to wake the computer from sleep mode' in the device (Win 7 64 bit) Manager, but it does nothing when the lid is closed, which is 99% of the time because I am using a monitor. I have to open the lid and use the power button.

    Does anyone have an idea on how to get this working, or not at all?

    It works fine on my other laptop Dell I bought at the same time (Inspiron 15). One is connected to a TV as a "Media Server", if the lid is also closed all the time, but he wakes up from his sleep when I move the mouse USB wireless.

    OK, it's now solved!

    The A08 BIOS update allows this, BUT the strange thing is that sometimes the option ' USB wake sleep ' is not available after a BIOS flash.

    This time, it was and now I can wake up the laptop from sleep, even with the mouse Wireless USB via a hub!

    Yay!
