HP Solution Center says that my officejet is disconnected

I have a HP Officejet J6480.  It is connected to my computer via USB.  It prints very well.  However, when I go to the HP Solution Center to scan a document to a file, the solution Center HP said the printer is DISCONNECTED.  I downloaded the HP printer doctor and he ran.  He said that everything was OK and he managed to scan a document to a file.  But the HP Solution Center still indicates that the printer is disconnected.  Also, when I try to scan to a document from the printer itself by using the buttons on it, it says there is no computer linked to it.  I downloaded and reinstalled HP Solution Center, but still get the message that my printer is DISCONNECTED.  Any suggestions on how I can get it to recognize the printer?  I have Windows 8.1.

Jamieson, thanks for the reply.  I think I found my problem.  It seems that the USB connection I was using is flaky.  When I did my installation using the wireless connection, it worked fine and all the features - printing, scanning, copying work very well.

Cannot scan, but the network is in place. Rebooted everything several times. No recent upgrades or software changes.

    Hi @mikealpha,

    Because there was a registry error in your installation, you will need to uninstall and reinstall the printer software. Below, I've posted some links to documents that offer instructions on how to uninstall, and then reinstall the HP software. Please try all the steps in order and get back to me with the results.

  • Solution Center says C7180 is disconnected

    Hi all..

    I have a C7180 in 1 connected via wired ethernet.

    I am running Win7 Ultimate 64-bit.

    Since almost new, HP Solution Center began by saying that the printer is disconnected.

    The printer is actually disconnected, because I can see the ink levels, and I can also print from within any application.

    I can't scan or fax via the central solution because he (Center solutiion) think that the printer is disconnected.

    I tried print and scan doctor and any other diagnostic tool, I found on the HP site.

    If I REINSTALL ALL of the HP software, this temproarily solves the problem back 1 hour at disconnected.

    Any help much appreciated.

    I can not info ink level when looking for the ink level using Toolbox printer in the solution Center.  It says 5610 printer not connected... but the functions of printer normally.

    Perfect!

    Thank you at this point, you can continue to check levels of ink on the test page, or you can remove the software and driver from your computer and try to reinstall to see the Toolbox will work again.

    If you want to go ahead with uninstall and reinstall, uninstall the printer software from the Control Panel on your PC, restart your PC then to complete uninstallation and download and run the installation from here: HP Deskjet and Officejet full feature software and drivers

    Once installation is complete, open the Solution Center on your desktop and try to check the levels of ink again.

    I printed a wireless test page and it works.

    Any help will be appreciated!

    Thank you

    Catherine.

    Catherine, looks that you encounter some problems scanning on your computer. To start have you tried completely removing the softwware and put it back in place for drivers on the HP site downloads? Here's how I'd do...

    First of all, if you use a USB cable, be sure to remove it (it's important). Do not plug it in again until the software instructs you. Through devices and printers, programs and features and issues Device Manager and make sure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. As indicated, and then restart the computer.

    In the menu START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here, I want you to press Ctrl + A, and press DELETE. Some files you cannot delete them, ignore these files and delete the majority that allows it to.

    Download this file and if the option to use the full setting software.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&product=3793676&

    Install and let me know the result!

    Have a great day!

    PS I recommend to try installing the printer via the USB cord and an Ethernet cord if this does not work wireless, to test methods of communication. Let me know which, if any, works.

  • Solution Center is necessary with officejet 8600?

    Just replace an old model of printer officejet with the officejet pro 8600/premium printer. Installed HP Solution Center when I installed the officejet model age.  What I still have to keep HP solution Center or can I uninstall it?

    HP Solution Center was replaced by the HP printer Assistant (at least that is what my Windows 7 computer with a 8600 use).  You could uninstall the older printing software.

  • Cannot get the HP Solution Center to load for officejet pro L7590 all-in-one printer

    Unable to get the HP Solution Center to load. Have an officejet pro L7590 all-in-one connected wireless (through the router) on my new computer Windows 8 but had to deceive it calling it a direct connection.

    I have a new computer with Windows 8.  I managed to get my HP officejet pro all-in-one L7590 printer connected and working with software downloaded from HP.  During installation it placed an icon on my desktop (the old format disktop I love) to the center of HP solutions, but when I try to open the Solution Center a message indicates that the installation is not complete.  When I try to install more software it brings back me to the orginal installation and indicates that the device is already installed.

    I want to clarify again once my choice of installation was directly connected even if it is wireless via a router.  It was the only way I could make it work.

    The Network Configuration page was just that you will find the IP address, but you have this.  It is not as important now.  Now that I've shown you a method to help you analyze let us begin the process is not easy to get the Solution Center works again.

    I was very happy to find an official document on your computer Windows 8 and the solution Center.  I think this should help you when you select your operating system on this page.  It is titled "The scanning device estintrouvable and other related errors" and will be a little better explain what you need to try to get the Solution Center to work once again, I am.

    Let me know if you have any questions concerning one of the steps here and I will do my best to answer those as quickly as possible. I do not know a few things to do if it does not, but it is certainly the best advice to try first.

  • Since the restoration of the system, Security Center say that 'Defender of the window is round' and does not allow me to turn on.

    Before restore Microsoft Essentials maintained Security Center in a State of 'green '.  I had heard that Windows Defender was not part of Microsoft Essential.  Am I wrong?  Do I need another spyware/malware protection?  Thank you.

    Hello

    Windows Defender features are included in MSE, defender of loading would be redundant.

    Windows Defender antispyware =

    MSE is antivirus + antispyware.

    Then think about MSE as Windows Defender with more added (which is). So MSE stops
    Windows Defender from loading.

    You can make sure that MSE is running or re - install necessary.

    I hope this helps.

  • connected via WIFI, but the solution Center says printer 'not found '.

    Hello, when I first set up the printer, my router is using DHCP and assigned IP address to the

    printer has been 192.168.1.102. The range of IP addresses assigned by the router is 101-105. From time to time.

    I had noticed, the DHCP server sometimes assign an other addresses in the range to the printer.

    The printer is connected, the blue light on the front is solid, it is connected to the router successfully.

    But the computer cannot print it, there is no link status monitor HP is concerned.

    I thought that the printer should work with any address in the DHCP of the router range. I had to modify

    the router config to always assign 192.168.1.102 to the printer now all works.

    The printer is Photosmart D110.   Is this the way you would expect?

    Thank you very much for your answer, I'll keep the info as a reference.

    I've never accessed the printer through the web browser / IP before.

    In fact, I solved the problem in a different way. In my configuration of routers.

    I could add it the printer (using the name of HP928B0E - the apparent hostame)

    for the routers DHCP static table, so that the address 102 is always affected.

    I think static DHCP is a kind of hybrid between DHCP and IP static, but always using DHCP,

    but will affect only this address to the printer and not one of the other attached devices.

    What it is, it works for me.

    Enjoy - Dave
