I checked the systems running and have revived the latter, which has been proposed for the same problem

Hello @Williams2and welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

I see that you have any questions about your ability to scan.  I would like to help!

You are connected via a USB cable or a wireless connection?

I recommend to remove printer ink cartridges and reset the power supply.  Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

I suggest also download and run the HP print and Scan Doctor.

Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    Yes, you can only buy 10.6.3 (I checked last), but you really need to do software updates again and again until there is no more

  • Photosmart 7510 stop scan to PC (Windows7). Diagnostics and help have not solved.

    Printer - Photosmart 7510.

    System: I'm on Windows 7 home premium 64-bit, I have Norton 360.  Laptop is Acer Aspire.

    Problem - Photosmart 7510 - scan is no longer to the PC.

    Software won't uninstall (so I can ' t reinstall)

    Connect the printer software installation impossible (he always recognizes the printer on the network)

    Scanner not recognized.  When I click on scan HP he says 7510 series unrecognized.  If I click on manage scans devices/printers, nothing happens apart from hourglass.

    I lived all the online help and scan doctor and spent 3 days on this.  Nothing seems to fix it or repair.

    The scanner, printer and copier what worked first implemented, including scanning to pc.

    Now, everything works apart from scanning to PC.

    A few days later the scanner to the computer stopped working and could not be recognized if clicked (for example to allow the scan to PC function).  Scanner the doctor then tried to uninstall and reinstall the software.  The basic device HP software won't uninstall, whether through the HP program or control panel.  There after the reboot, even when supposedly uninstalled.  I tried to reset the defaults on the printer, turn off the power sector, removing the printer from devices and printers, fixing and cleaning the registry errors, checking all relevant WIA and CPP are restarted and automatic according to the directives of this help: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Scanning-Faxing-and-Copying/Photosmart-7510-won-t-scan/m-p/1749193/high... I followed all the HP help topics and have tried drivers updated and installation of HP.com.  My laptop was rebooted about 50 times in the last three days trying to get this resolved.

    When I click on the printer defined upward and the software it prompts you to connect the new printer.  It finds my 7510 (wireless), but says that it cannot install it.

    I can't do windows system restore, because there is no set of restore points.  I tried to disable firewall for connections and installation of the software.

    Various error messages appear:

    During the uninstallation using the control panel.

    "Scan to PC Activation App" needs closing (I can only find in the tasks of process manager I then complete the process)

    If I try to use the HP uninstall later said there is no uninstall HP.

    I have the original CD.

    Any ideas as to how my scan to PC to work again?

    Maybe this isn't the case in your situation, however, security software (firewall/anti-anti-virus/malware) can cause endless problems, depending on their configuration. Norton 360 is an extremely invasive program, part of what makes it so effective. But, get the settings to allow access install/uninstall the devices through 360 can be complicated. My advice before you try anything else, would be to disable Norton 360 (gives you regular intervals) then try Solution 3 in the Windows 7 of this troubleshooting document installation section:

  • HP Photosmart C4380 stopped scanning

    I have my Photosmart c4380 connected wireless to my iMac (under snow leopard). The last time I tried to scan controls on the printer, I got a message "USB or wireless not connected".  I am able to print wireless from my computers and I use to be able to scan the controls on the printer, but no more. Probably not incidentally, Device Manager did something unusual - display a dialog box that talks about printer cartridge. (I ignored him, closed, etc. & has not paid no attention until now that I can't scan.) Probably related. I tried scanning also form HP Device Manager, but get a message "unknown error."  Also, a message was generated to send it to Apple.  I'm a tech fool but I managed to set up twice! Was not so difficult I have well - but... yuck, I need to make it work!

    In fact, let's check something.  It turns out that scanning from the printer control panel does not work with 10.6.

    However, you can scan using the Image Capture (in your Applications folder)?

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 stopped scanning

    I have my 8600 Officejet Pro connected to my computer and use Windows 7. When I got the all-in-one, he scanned beautifully. Then one day he just stop scanning. I get an error when I try to scan which said"The HP 8600 Pro Ofifcejet not found. »

    I ran the HP Print & Scan Doctor half a dozen times and to halfway through, I still get the error message "The HP Officejet Pro 8600 was not found."

    On the HP Print & Scan doctor, when she leaves, I get a screen that verifies offshore:

    -Device Manager

    -Pilot Check

    -Device status

    -Windows (WIA) Scan

    And then I have a yellow triangle with an explaination in next to "HP Twain scanning" brand

    He has a box that says: "Please save your work and close all applications. Unplug it from your printer by pulling on the power cord from the printer. Plug it back, turn it back on, and then click "Restart the computer." Once the computer is restarted, run this utility again. "What I've done several times - it doesn't change ANYTHING. Still, I get "The HP Officejet Pro 8600 is not found" error box again...

    I would add also, I was able to print without missing a beat and I use a USB cable to connect the MFC to my PC as our wireless here at the office isn't bad.

    I would be very happy for any help and suggestions that someone has!

    Thank you!

    Instead of posting your question in the Feedback forum, where you post your feedback on the web site of Microsoft Answers, you should have posted in forum hardware and drivers, which is where I moved your post.  Please return to your message, click on edit, change the Version of Windows, menu dropdown to indicate which version of Windows you are using, and then click on submit.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 first stopped scanning

    My Officejet Pro 8500 has stopped scanning.  The message window says it is not connected to the network.

    I changed my DSL provided by the local cable company to ATT U verse a few months ago, but the problem does not seem to be related to this change.  I say this because when I ran the diagnostics, the printed page says that my problem is "the wireless radio does not work. Contact HP support. »

    HP support offered advice tech for $29) warranty, or sell me a new all-in-one.

    The wireless radio can be fixed? Is it a software problem.  I have to buy a new all-in-one?

    Hello JessicaD,

    I see that you have a problem with the wireless radio fails on your Officejet 8500. To inform you in this regard, if the radio has failed, it is not a replaceable part by customer, but I'll try to help you with the problem.

    Start as a result of this document: printer does not maintain the wireless connection.
    With this document, I would like to track:
    (1) restore your default settings of network on the printer.
    Go to setup (can be a wrench), network, and then restore the default settings of the network. After that the power on the printer.

    (2) turn off the wireless radio.
    Go to Configuration > network > wireless radio, you must have the option to turn it off.

    (3) hard reset of the printer.
    While the printer power cable for 30 seconds, while the cable is unplugged, press and hold the power button for 15 seconds. It's draining the printer of all power. Reconnect the cable.

    (4) turn on the wireless radio and reconnect.
    Go to Configuration > network > wireless radio - on. Then, go to Configuration > network > wireless are running the configuration wizard.

    If it was not successful in entering you connected to the network and or print wireless. You still have another option with the printer to try before replacing.
    If you have an Ethernet cable, you can set a wired network connection. Plug the Ethernet (cat5 cable) cable into the printer and the router. It will be assigned the printer a new IP, which means that you will need to add the printer to the computer. This will still allow the printer on the network and communicate with a wireless device.

    Please try all above and I would like to know how everything goes. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

  • 1355cn stopped scanning

    My cn 1355 is on my home network.  I have fine print, and have swept between her on the network to an application.  The other day it stopped scanning.  Nuance PaperPort (shipped with the printer) say now when running configuration Analyzer Wizard "no software not detected.  The scanner power is off, the cable is not correctly connected, or address IP settings are correctly entered. "I am running Windows 7.  By checking the printer selection dialog, it indicates that the printer has a valid address is in energy saving mode and has a green check mark.  I can always print it.  ???

    Since the announcement, I saw another thread on the same topic. The printer is supplied with software PaperPort 12 and then the selection "analyze" the software reports "Scanner not found". There is a button on the bottom of the dialog box in PaperPort with 'Port '. I selected that, no changes, just accept the settings and then tried to scan again - and that market as before!

  • Photosmart c4780 error scan on mac

    I have the latest version on the macbook and a Photosmart c4780 all-in-one printer. The printer part records on my computer and it will copy as well. However, it will not scan from the printer to my computer. When I go to the printer in the system settings, it recognizes the printer but not the scanner. I connected via USB. What could be the problem?

    I guess you have Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) on your Mac?  If you have loaded the HP from the CD software, and unless your CD says it supports in particular 10.6 Snow Leopard, you must uninstall it using the option "scrubber":

    Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
    Click on continue
    Highlight your device in the left pane
    Hold down the Ctrl and Opt Cmd and click on uninstall
    There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    Click on continue and let it finish

    Restart your Mac

    Now run a software update.

    Then, remove and reinstall the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.

    You do not have the software now since Snow Leopard as well print & scan drivers built-in. scan from Preview apps or Image Capture. Scan from the front panel of the printer does not work yet.

  • Printer HP photosmart stopped scanning and desktop icon does not connect either

    I have recently switched to optical fiber for broadband connection.  I reset my printer to the new IP address and the fact that it is connected.  However I'm unable to scan.  I followed the procedures to help so I tried unplugging my firewall (not quite sure how but I disabled my security temporarily) but he has not yet worked.  I also tried double-clicking the desktop icon that is unresponsive.  Help!

    Hi there Sue!

    My next suggestion would be to uninstall the printer, restart the computer and reinstall.

    1. uninstalling the software of the printer (I recommend the method of control panel to uninstall)

    2. restart the computer to complete the uninstall

    3 Click here to download the complete driver. Once the download is complete, installation will start and then follow the on-screen instructions until the printer is completely installed. I hope that eventually you will be able to open the printer from your desktop software and start a new search.
