HP envy 5530: impossible to activate scan of the computer!

I have a macbook air and I wanted my hp 5530 for a few years and it has worked very well. Then I was unable to scan directly to my macbook, so I followed the instructions of troubleshooting - uninstalled the hp software and then re-installed. After the 3rd re - install, scan to computer worked for a day and now I can't do it again!

I can't check the box 'Enable the scan of the computer' in the hp utility - WHY? Can someone help me please no copy and paste the instructions of troubleshooting, I read the already. What do I have to uninstall and reinstall again?

Hello
The HP scanning application is not compatible with Sierra, so you may experience problems.
Remove the HP scanning by moving it to the trash, then empty the trash.

Instead install HP Easy Scan below, it will be installed in the Applications folder:
http://FTP.HP.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/OSX/installations/Essentials/HP-easy-scan-1_7_0.pkg

If you experience additional problems, ensure that the latest version of the software is installed by following HP Easy Start below:
http://FTP.HP.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/OSX/applications/HP_Easy_Start.app.zip

Finally, make sure that your drivers are up-to-date by clicking the Apple icon, select about this Mac and then press on software update.
Click on the Bank on the menu bar, click Reload Page, click all update if an update is available.

Kind regards

    Hi realjax,

    In this version of the software we tried to give the customer analysis options to manage their activation to the parameters of the computer. The printer was still able to scan from the software. In this way our software was not using the resources of system of clients all the time. In later versions of this software, we took notice of the customer and activated the scanning to computer active during the installation of the printer.

  • HP Envy 5660: Win 10-5660 Envy - Scan of the computer is enabled no longer

    I understand that this has been reported several times by others.  No proposed solution does work for me.  Periodically, I get the error message "Scan of the computer is no longer enabled.»  The network connection to the printer has been lost.  This started only after the upgrade to Windows 10.  This is a false message I still able to scan from the printer.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled but false error notifications always appear.  I can easily disable scan of the computer in the management of the scanning and uncheck the box there.  There is a work around.

    Is - this position of HP to use the autour work and waive the functionality of scanning directly from the printer?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Thank you for using the HP Forums.

    The pop-up message occurs because the software is not able to detect the Scanner (because the Scan of the computer is activated).

    Win 10 uses WSD and WSD is maybe not as reliable (where the popup).

    Maybe you can try a TCP/IP port?  What could reduce disconnect it temporarily.

    Can you try using a TCP/IP port?

    Creating a TCP IP port:

    1. print a Configuration Page to get the printer IPv4 address (you can also tap on the icon wireless on the front panel of your printer to obtain the IP address)
    2. on your PC, go to the Panel control, devices and printers, right-click the printer and on the left, click printer properties, select the Ports tab.
    3. click Add Port, select the Port TCP/IP Standard, then New Port and follow the instructions in the wizard.
    4. Enter the IP address of the printer.

    This video resource will show you how do:

    Create & port use TCP IP

    Note that you can ALWAYS go back to the original port the HP software installed by selecting the HP port on the Ports tab (in the properties of the printer)

    Let us know if it works.

    Otherwise, if you do not use the function "Scan to Computer" regularly, you can always disable.

    Thank you.

  • Cannot scan to the computer. Photosmart 6510

    I have just purchase a photosmart 6510 and I cannot scan to the computer.  The printer tells me that I need to activate this via the printer software.  I know that I have installed all the software from the disc supplied.

    I can't find where I have activate the scan of the computer on my laptop.  Support information tells me to click the icon for the printer to my desktop, I do not have!  I tried going through the control panel and impossible to find something there.

    I go in the HP folder in my Start menu and click on scan HP that I get the following message "the machine HP photosmart 6510 series is not found".  I don't have a problem with printing at all.

    Tried to start printing and scanning of doctor and who did not make a difference. (In fact, the scan option came not on it).

    How can I fix this please?  I'm running Windows Vista Home premium.

    Hello.  Thanks for your reply.

    I've sorted really the problem now.  But let me explain what it was.

    I tried tool doctor who recommended you after browsing these forums, without success.  In fact, when I ran the scanner, he told me that he had no problem with printing, but there was no mention of the scanning anywhere.

    In fact, I uninstalled all HP software, removed the printer from my control panel.  Then reinstalled the software from the disc and then installed the printer again (I did things the opposite of the front walkway).  And the scanner function now works.

  • HP Deskjet 3050 a J611n: scan of the computer is no longer available since windows 10 download

    After downloading windows 10 to my laptop last week surprise, I can't scan from this upgrade and get the message that the scan to the computer is no longer available. I tried different routes to make it work again in settings, but I can't get the article that will allow me to choose scan of the computer. I also seem to have something in 10 called windows webscan, I can't activate it either. Any ideas how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

    @loki4

    I'm sorry it doesn't - there are perhaps other issues (HP or Microsoft drivers and software) preventing to install printing software and works as expected.

    Migration from one operating system to another can be brutally hard on the file system.

    Going to bed.

    A few random ideas:

    When you try again - restart all:

    • Shut down / off everything, including the router (and all connected mobile devices) >
    • Leave the router (in condition off the coast) a few minutes > bootstrap router > wait a minute >
    • Start or computers on the network > mobile devices from start > printer start

    Remove any program of printing of programs and features

    Make sure that your Adobe Reader DC is on the latest version (and Flash, too)

    Printer's happiest with an Ethernet - and a static IP address if you have stability issues

    Run Windows updates several times after a migration; There are sometimes more than one session so that everything is loaded.   Check to see if you are ready to install the "other Microsoft" software with your Windows updates.  View history.  He tells you?  Not sure - always good to know what Microsoft adds to your system...

    Start (screen) > settings > update and security > Windows Update > Advanced Options

    If you are running McAfee security - you might need to update, reinstall it, or disable it temporarily.  (I don't really know this; I guess.)

    Switch your UAC (User Account Control) to "notify me only when apps to try to make changes...» "(slider / option second from the bottom):

    Control Panel > display icon > user accounts <> change user accounts control settings

  • OfficeJet 5740: officejet 5740 - scan of the computer cannot be activated - cause communication error

    2 weeks ago, I bought a HP officejet 5740 - installed the software and everything worked well. Unfortunately, the printer is dead, and I just got a new.  In order to start to 'clean up', I removed all HP on the Mac software - and then installed the printer. I can print - and scan using progtram analysis. The printer is connect via ethernet.

    This left me with 2 numbers

    (1) for installation, Setup fails when I reached the setting of alerts (communication error - please restart the program) try to configure alerts in HP utility fail - even once to the criticism fail - restart program

    (2) I'm not able to activate the scan of the computer on the Mac.  I get "communication failed" when I try to turn on the feature in HP utillity

    What I tried

    Delete all HP software (several times) and reinstall it again - still the same problem

    I removed the HP software and used the diskutillity to fix the rights - and reinstalled him brand new - still same problem.

    I have reset the printingsystem on the mac - still the same problem

    I still think it's weird - because everything worked great with the first printer I had! -replace it with a similar one caused the problem.  And this isn't the printer - because scan to computer works with my wife PC

    I have run out of ideas - and hopes that someone can solve this problem!

    Carsten

    Thank you for your reply - the problem is now resolved.  It seems that when you run Uninstall HP also something with the printerdrives provided by Apple update. I noticed that version 3.1 was installed on March 2, when I installed the first printer, I bought (the one who broke down) in all my tests, uninstalling and installing the drivers, I have checked apple update, it says no new updates, but last night he said suddenly that there was an update and then it reienstalled the 3.1 drivers HP again - and surpirice the problem has been solved.

    Thank you for your quick response!
