• Photosmart 6520: printer is fine but the scanner will not connect to the printer

  Since the update to windows 10 my printer works fine, but my scanner is not connecting to my computer!  I tried looking for updates as suggested, but it goes on to say that he didn't... Please help its driving me crazy!  Thank you

  Hi @queenbee12,

  Looks like the scan drivers may not have been installed correctly. Please, try the steps in this document to see if it helps. Skip step 3, because it is the different software for your model. Let me know the results of step 5.

  HP printers - a Communication or connection error is displayed when scanning.

  In the workarounds section scan, try these applications to see what results you have.

  If the driver is installed correctly, you should be able to use the Capture and scanning HP.

  Please hold me. Thank you.

• Scanner will not connect to my printer HP deskjet 3050

  I recently bought a printer HP Deskjet 3050 all-in-One series, scanner copier J611 a.  My operating system is Vista 64.  I received the error message is "Scanner not connected to the computer."  Everything worked, and then all of a sudden the scanner no longer works (print and copy of the works).  I tried to use the printing HP and Dr. Scan to try to solve the problems, but it did not help.  I also tried other solutions I found on the HP site.  Finally, I just uninstalled and reinstalled.  It did not help.  I can still print and copy but will not scan.  I need the scanner, more than anything I have an another printer/copier HP that I can use.

  I tried to analyze using the Wi - Fi connection but couldn't. I have not tried to use MS Paint. I saw in another thread, the proposition that, using a key USB cable might work and I tried it and it worked. It's a little embarrassing, but the key is that I can scan now. Thank you very much.

• Dell scanner will not connect to netbook Toshiba Vista

  I have a dell printer/scanner/copier, which I tried to connect it to my toshiba netbook, but it doesn't connect. How can I solve this problem?

  scaneer problem

  Go to Dell and get the latest driver, firmware, or software for your device and compatible with your version of Vista.  Also get the user and technical manuals if they have available.  Uninstall what you already have installed and try again.  Don't forget to follow the directions on the order of events during installation (some want the connected device and power since the beginning and others only after that some other measures have been made - and it won't work unless you do it in the right order).  Contact Technical Support to Dell for assistance if necessary http://support.dell.com/support/index.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs.

  Are you sure that your device is compatible with Vista and your Toshiba?  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Printer will not connect via USB

  HP lj1022 printer will not connect not not via the USB port after the installation of the new driver upgrade hp lj1020/1022 for Windows 7 (64-bit). Driver seems to install properly until the moment where he is asked to connect the USB cable. Then he hangs up. HP lj 1020 printer appears in the display to the dashboard as the default printer. Computer recognizes the printer as hp printer lj1022 but in another "device not specified Panel when and only when the printer is on and the USB cable is connected." When printing, nothing ever comes from queue.

  Diagnosis is only that something is stuck in the queue and remove the task from the queue, but does not. Diagnostic shows no problem.

  The lj1022 printer accepts data from two other computers, as well on Windows xP and using the same cables. Three other USB ports have been tested on the new Windows 7 computer without results. The USB ports on the Windows 7 computer accept keyboards, mouse and flash memories wireless dongle without problem. The Windows 7 computer also sends data to a printer wireless with no problems.

• V525W printer will not connect wireless

  When I try to reinstall the printer, the program stops after I connect the USB "put in place by cable".  The CONTINUE button dark rest.

  I tried every suggstion I find on the Board for more than three hours and still not get this piece of junk to work.

  I have an all-in-one Dell XPS running Windows 7 machine.

  Can someone please?

  Rick,

  After a few "cooling off" days, I decided to TANOE this problem again and it seems that I finally work!

  I went in the menu on the printer and restore the default settings.  I always had the same problem with the Installation of the Dell program I went into the Windows 7 Control Panel and clicked on "Add a wireless device to the network."  He immediately recognized the printer and I followed the steps until the light green enabled WiFi fixed.   Then, I went through the installation of Dell again and was able to print, scan, etc.

  Thanks again,

• HP b209a printer range will not connect to router comcast using the WPS button

  HP b209a printer range will not connect to router comcast using the WPS button. I try to use a new Comcast router (technicolor TC8305C). When I try to connect the printer times out and says that no connections are when I check for wireless connections. Yet, when I print the network configuration page, the SSID for the new router is at the top of the list. I reinstalled the software by the support of Comcast, but it did not help.  I'm ideas please help!

  Thank you

  Never use WPS to connect.  If done it should be disabled in the router for security reasons.  Connect manually via the SSID and password following the instructions in the manual.

• HP Officejet 6500 a: printer will not connect to the wireless network.

  I got this HP printer for a while and it worked fine.  Our old router is out and we had to get a new one.  Installed perfectly and printer continued to work properly.  The password for the router was ridiculous, that's why I changed it to something much more simple to remember.  Since then, my printer will not connect to wireless internet.  I have a ~ and reinstalled the printer but still have the same problem.  I thought maybe to try the former password would, but who does not work either.

  Anyone has any ideas that might help before chuck it and go and get a new one altogether?

  Thank you.

  Easy things first.  Turn off the router and the printer.  Turn on the router and wait 3 minutes.  Turn on the printer and see if it connects to your router.  Status?

  If no joy, temporarily disable all security in the router.  Now try to connect the printer to your SSID not guaranteed without password.  Status now?

  If OK, go back and add WPA2-AES with your simple password.  Status now?

• HP deskjet 2540: HP 2540 printer will not connect to new router

  Hi, we just changed internet service providers and the printer will not connect to the new router, our HP laptop computer presents the printer in the list of network devices / wireless, but will not accept the password of network to the router when I ask him to connect. Makes me crazy! I have re-installed software etc. to connect the drive and make me anywhere I hope someone can help!

  Dave.

  Replacement/change your wireless router, try here.

  http://www.HP.com/global/au/en/wireless/reconfiguring-system-Help3.html

  Make sure that your router is set to a fixed channel wireless as the 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto '.  Try channel 1 first and then the other one at a time.  Make sure that the printer and the router are spaced at least 5 feet.

  However, if you have a gateway device (modem + router), all gateway devices are terrible for connectivity and wireless performance.   If this does not work, suggest you put this bridge in full bridge mode device and install your own router of high quality that YOU have full control over.

• My camera SonyDSC-S85 will not connect to windows 7 said no driver available, why go to this if it does not support my equipment

  My Sony DSC - S85 will not connect to windows 7. He said no driver is available I can't believe what is happening simply because do upgrades of windows I yo buy all new appliances and video equipment.

  You're right - the site of Sony says that your camera is not supported under Windows 32 or 64-Bit 7. However there is a simple solution - take the memory stick in and out of the camera and a card reader allows you to transfer your photos to your PC.

  If your PC does not have a card reader, you can buy USB very cheap ones. Just make sure it's one that can read the memory stick into your camera.
