LaserJet 3055: General failure on HP Scan and Capture for LJ 3055

In need of an application to scan to PDF with my LJ 3055 (used to have a great HP application when it was released for Windows 95), I downloaded HP Scan and Capture. It worked once, scanning photos, but it now still gives me the message "General failure", though: he sees the all-in-one printer/scanner, the driver is up to date, I can print and scan from Windows...

Help me please!

Thank you! No idea why HP Scan and Capture does not work? I'm really looking for a multiple page PDF document Scan.

No idea why Scan and Capture do not have on your system.

I guess you could start over - resinstall HP Scan and Capture:

Remove Hp Scan and Capture of the applications and features > restart > open Store > search for scanning and Capture > install

Create a multiple page PDF file:

  • Single document pages > scan to computer
  • PDF documents of single page already on the computer

Reference:

Options of the digitization program

NAPS2 provides several page scans.  I used it for these to create test documents.  How achieve you the exit depends on what you use for entry.

-----------------------------------------------------------

  • Create the new PDF on several pages

Scanning single pages printed using NAPS2 (the printer) > save to a single output file.

-----------------------------------------------------------

  • Import single page documents into a PDF file

NAPS2 requires that PDF pages / files created within the program (during the first scan of the printer).

Option 1: Print the individual pages > scan these pages into the computer using NAPS2 > create the desired output file (single pages or a handset).  Messy but doable.

Option 2: If the NAPS2 program was used to create the first scan, NAPS2 can import the page file to use for a new file / exit.

PDFSAM also has the ability to create a document to multiple page since the entry of the individual page.

GIMP manages this function - supplied editing tools Gimp; Some functions are easier to use than others.  Great program.

    I've done a 'clean reinstall"Windows 10 and reinstall all my programs, including the Capture and scanning HP.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 e. problem scanning scanning and Capture App Win 8.1

    OfficeJet Pro 8600 e.  New.

    Installed on HP Envy touch 23. Running Windows 8.1.

    Wireless set in place. Fine prints.  Problem is the digitization of the HP scanning and capture the software App 8.1 Win

    With the help of scanning and Capture App I can scan pictures very well.  They come out clear.  Scanning documents in GRAY has several bands/lines in gray on the entire page vertically running.  Scanning COLOR documents are very good.

    Also, if I scan from the printer directly using the touch screen of the printer, the output of scan is fine.

    I did the Scan utility to discover any errors and it show everything.  I think it is a software error.  I'm going to uninstall the HP scanning application, and then reinstall.  So, I'll do the uninstall/reinstall and accountable.

    Also, I would like to know if there is a program of office for scanning?  I prefer to use it instead of the modern HP Scan and capture App.

    Thank you...

    Hi artrum,

    I understand that you have been scanning your Officejet 8600 problems using the program window of scanning and Capture. I will certainly do my best to help you with this!

    What you explained, I think: you're right, it seems that it is only a problem with scanning windows and the Capture program and as you could scan from the front of the printer you certainly have the HP software installed. I want to make is that you use the HP scanning software, where you must run is no longer in question.

    To access the HP scanning software and be able to access it easily from your Office I would like you to follow the steps below:

    1 go to your start screen and just start typing File Explorer. You should be able to open it then to access the files on your computer.

    2 then open Local (c) disc, followed by Program Files (x 86), followed by HP, then HP Officejet Pro 8600, followed finally by bin.

    3. in the bin folder, you should see HPScan. You will want to right click on HPScan and go to send to, and then select Desktop.

    Now, you should see HP Scan on your desktop and be able to open and browse this request.

    Hope this helps, have a nice day!

  • HP scan and capture the desktop?

    I use HP Scan and Capture because the software for my printer a HP all in one Photosmart 5512 won't allow not to scan multipage documents - at least I can't get it to work.

    Capture and scanning HP works fine, but only from the start page.

    I put a shortcut to the program on the desktop, but he refuses to go, saying: it must start from a container "app".

    I rarely use the start page and it's a PIA to go there whenever I want to scan something.

    Is it possible to start scanning HP and Capture from the desktop?

    (I have to say after using computers for 30 years, Microsoft has really into it with Windows 8.  Created by and for lovers).

    Hello

    HP and Capture app scanning can only be run from Windows 8 start screen.

    You can install the latest version of the HP software for your desktop, it allows scanning of multiple pages as well and ensure a standard use. the software can be downloaded form the following link:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=MP-108875-3&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&OS=4132&product=5063611&sw_lang=

    You can scan multiple pages by scanning a document or photo of the HP software, do not forget to tick the option preview scan and set the resolution to 300 DPI or below, the Analysis dialog box will include a button Add Pages to scan additional pages.

  • OfficeJet X576dw: Where in HP Scan and Capture file?

    I can't find where to start Scan HP and Capture.  Does not appear as an application and can not find any exe file in the program files.

    Hello

    As mentioned above, I only use HP Scan and usually reinstall the software and driver should fix this. But you not cela and prefer to use HP Scan and Capture. Just for you, I ran the following steps:

    1. using Windows Store looking for this app (don't know why I couldn't find it yesterday, on this same computer)

    Hi KennyG63,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support and I thank you for the great question.

    Capture and scanning HP is a free application available for download from the Windows store. It can capture photos or documents of a HP all-in-One (network only) or your computer's built-in camera. I have included a link with detailed steps on how to scan using HP and Capture app scanning.

  • OfficeJet pro 8620: scanning and capture app scan document

    I run HP Scan and Capture.

    If I scan a document and do not save it, the app does not allow me to analyse other documents of the IOA, but I can scan photos or from another machine - I can also use the buttons on the IOA to scan to my computer, but then no corrections not allowed.

    I uninstalled the app and reinstalled. I rebooted my system. I turned off the machine and turned it back. None of them have done so that I can scan a different document through the app.

    Any suggestions?

  • HP scanner and Capture for Windows 8

    I have a HP6600.  HP scanning and application of the Capture for Windows 8.1 stop when I switch to another application - if I start a scan and then move to another application leaving work in the background, the analysis always fail (message says that the application has been suspended).  The scan is successful when I keep the app on the screen, preventing me from multitasking.  If I move to a different application, scanning and Capture stops working in the background.  This can be corrected?

    Hello.

    It's true, because it cannot communicate with its address space on your computer. You expect the task of analysis at the end. They can do so on the high end printers/scanners multitasking, but NOT for low range printers/scanners.

    Hope it makes sense.

  • HP Envy5530 series - HP64C25A: HP scanning and Capture does not work

    Recently my HP Scan application capture & has stopped working. So far the application worked perfectly. I tend to use it rarely, so the first cause can occur some time in the past weeks. The printer is connected to my laptop via a wifi connection & it prints perfectly.

    As part of my diagnosis, I deleted the application & loaded the last version from the store Windows. Unfortunately the application continues to refuse to do. When I try to run the application using the functionality of Capture of Documents - I get this error message "General failure."

    I tried to run HP Print & Scan Doctor (V4.9) to solve the problem of scanning. I note that this request when I try to run it seems not to complete his routine & may appear to 'work' for more than 20 minutes (I dropped & closed by using the Task Manager).

    I can use the scanner using the HP e - All in One Printer, but of course this will provide only a scan of a single page.

    Any help would be most warmly accepted.
