My computer does not recognize my printer installed as a scanner.

Recognize a scanner.  My printer is also a scanner.  My new computer recognize the printer (in a network), but does not recognize the scanner function.  When I try to scan a document it tells me that I don't have a scanner installed?  What should do?

Normally, the input devices can be shared, at all, but this is not always true of scanners.  You will be able to share the scanner if the manufacturer has provided a software specialized for this purpose.

You must use a network scanner (which eliminates immediately most, if not all, USB scanners) and a specialized software (that comes with the scanner) to do this.  If you're talking about a consumer grade flat USB or parallel port scanner, you can most likely not.

HP, Canon, Xerox, Oce, Kyocera Mita and other companies manufacture network capable scanners (they devices actually multi-function was also copying, printing and sometimes fax and e-mail) and specialized software accessories.  The cost of these devices usually begins somewhere just below $4, 000.00 USD.

The application of HP PrecisionScan Pro, version 2.03 and higher, normally provided with some low business scanners from HP range, allows some of the functions of the sweep to share.  See the documentation provided with the scanner.  (I know that it works, if not very well; I configured HP ScanJet 6300 C and C 7490 devices to be shared, using the provided software.)

    Microsoft did not your hardware - done HP.

    Hello maxie2010,

    Go to the Brother website and enter the model of your printer. Then see if they have any software that you can download for your model.
    You may also need to download the printer driver for your printer model and reinstall.

    Then, remove the printer and reinstall the printer.

    Hi gramward1,

    We recommend all first download and install the drivers for the chipset on the computer and check the difference.
    To download the driver, visit the website of the manufacturer of the system.

    Step 1: You can also try to search for the hardware changes and check if the device is detected on the computer. To do this, try the following steps:
    a. connect any USB device to the computer.
    b. Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.msc, and then click ok.
    c. in the list of items, click one of the items, click the Action menu and click scan for hardware changes.
    d. check if the device is detected.

    Step 2: Try to remove and reinstall all USB controllers
    a. Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.msc in the Open box and then click OK.
    b. in the list of components, expand Bus USB controllers.
    c. right-click on each device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click on uninstall to remove them one at a time.
    d. restart the computer once you have removed all the USB controllers.
    Note: USB controllers automatically install after you restart the computer.
    e. plug the removable USB storage device and perform a test to ensure that the problem is solved.

  • Computer does not recognize Toshiba external 500G HDD - HARD drive

    Sorry, I use a translator, because all the illiterate

    A year and a half used the hard drive, and now the computer does not recognize it, the TV too.
    In Device Manager, it is there, but says "initialization error".

    What should do?
    Thanks for the replies

    You have partitions software installed on the laptop you?
    I guess that the HARD disk does not appear in windows Explorer, but common partition as the partition Wizard tool might be able to recognize the HARD drive.
    You can try to format the HARD disk and to create the new NTFS partition.

    Another solution:
    Usually, you can initialize the disk by DiskManagement.

    In disk management, right-click the disk you want to initialize and then click on initialize disk.
    In the dialog box initialize the disk, select the disk to initialize.
    You can choose to use the master boot record (MBR) or the style of partition GUID partition table (GPT).

    Once a disk is initialized, you can create partitions on it.
    After you create a partition, you can format the partition to create a filesystem (NTFS).

  • Put HP1012 in place. The installation process does not recognize the printer.

    I've made sure the device is on and the usb cable is connected.  Printer worked fine until I needed to reinstall the windows xp operating system.  Now reinstall the printer set up the software does not recognize the printer.  Before reinstalling the operating system, the printer worked great even if it is quite old.  I use the original CD game in the installation process.

    Problem solved.  I plugged the printer into different usb port cable and the computer immediately recognized the printer.  Previously, I had ports different usb, but not the one where he worked.  I have 7 usb ports on this computer, and it seems that one does not work.

  • My Windows Media Center XP computer does not recognize my Nikon Super Cool Scan 5000 ED

    I have a Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED, which I have not used for several years.  I tried to install it using the Nikon Scan software and was a failure.  Site of Nikon said that by Hamrick VueScan will also run this scanner.  My computer does not recognize the scanner and so I can not install the drivers for it.  I tried to connect this device on several different computers and with different cables.  None of these computers does not recognize the device.

    As you mentioned that none of the computers recognize this device, you will need to contact the manufacturer and check.
