My iMac 24 "4 GB 460 GB scan a picture of an all-in-one OfficeJet J6480

I just bough an iMac yesterday and when I configured the printer for wireless use, and tried to scan a picture, it wouldn't work.  The printer works fine wirelessly and I have not set up a fax because I really don't need now.  When I try to scan a picture, it gives me the message error "an unknown error has occurred."  I hear the scanner move, but there is no picture on the screen.  If anyone has had this problem before or have any ideas on how to fix this? Help, please!

Thank you

Oh, you have snow leopard, correct?  Do not use Scan Pro, use of Image Capture or preview.

If this does not work, you will need to uninstall the software you probably loaded from the CD of the printer (for 10.5 and earlier only).  This by running the program of uninstalling applications, Hewlett-Packard.

Once you do this, download the latest drivers (in case the uninstall them program wiped out - he did it on my Mac) here.

    Hi @jcoronat,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I understand that you get an error when you try to scan. I would like to help.

  • All-in-one Officejet 5610: lost all ability to scan after operating system upgrade

    Hello

    First post.

    Tried to implement everything. Need for new perspective or someone just told me that the printer/scanner is not taken in charge any longer.

    Recently updated to OS 10.8.5 as well as extra memory.

    Have scanner only for the work of the company.

    The scanner just stopped working after update of HP software. I don't remember version. Nevertheless, today I removed all HD and started around, but nothing works.

    Start over means, I downloaded a new driver and the patch.

    Using a HP scanning Application. Now that the application does not appear even on the computer.

    Let's start with some basic questions and then go from there:

    Neither HP or HP scanning Application utility are now on the hard disk after you follow the instructions from HP to delete.

    What I need the original disks and to reinstall the software from it or can those be online?

    Thank you.

    Mike

    Follow-up.

    Tried this approach (see link), but the all-in-one Officejet 5610 is not listed. I suspect the printer/scanner in is no longer supported?

    THX!

    http://www.MethodShop.com/2013/12/HP-utility-install.shtml

    Second follow-up:

    I understand how to use of Apple's Image Capture application as a workaround. Not as friendly as HP Scan.

    Unless someone can tell me the HP and HP Scan utility always work in OS 10.8.5 for the 5100, I guess that will be sufficient.

    Thank you.

    Hello

  • HP 2210 printer all-in-one: after updating WIndows 10, I can print but not scan with my HP 2210 all in one

    I've updated to Windows 10 and since then I can print but not scan with my HP 2210 all-in-one printer.  I tried to download the software updates, but nothing seems to work.  Any suggestions

    Hi @Sajapand @ddegan

    I see that you both scan problems after upgrade to Windows 10, and I may be able to help.

    Most of the products have updated software available on the HP support Web site for Windows 10.

    I also saw a few posts that say Windows 8.1 driver works for Windows 10 as well, then you could try also.

    HP provides a free tool called HP Print and Scan doctor to diagnose and troubleshoot printing and scanning problems. I recommend you to download and run the HP print and Scan Doctor , if she doesn't fix it automatically I would know what errors or messages that you receive.

    Do you know if you are able to scan using paint?

    To perform a scan of the painting: HP Multifunction printers - how Scan: Windows 8

    (This is the same for Windows 10, of what I said)

    1. Click the Start button () in the lower left corner of the screen, click on Searchand type Paint.
    2. Click on the painting in the results.
    3. Click fileand then click on from a scanner or camera.
    4. Select your printer, click OK, and then click Scan.

    Please let me know if any of these steps has resolved your problem, or if there is anything else I can do to help.

    I look forward to hear from you!

    Thank you

  • All-in-one Officejet Pro 8620: officejet pro 8620 all-in-One scan negative

    How to scan negatives and 35mm on a HP Officejet Pro 8620?  I recently read it is possible on older versions, but can not find all the information about the printer I have.  Please answer quickly because it's something I have to do for my business.

    Hello

    Negative scanning requires a special film holder (as in This example), indeed such was offered by older models and not in the past years.

    The 8620 do not offer this kind of functionality, as well as any current inkjet all-in-one device and you can't scan negatives with your printer.

    Only proffesional scanners offer a these these days, not all in one of the devices.

  • All-in-one Officejet 5610: function Scan lost after upgrade to Yosemite

    Lost the ability to analyze after upgrade, print, and copy works. Have already done everything suggested by Double-U-di in the Mac OS 10.10 post Yosemite and HP Printer Support posted on 30/10/2014: checking for updates Apple, printer removed from the queue, add printer back, reset the printing system, removed the HP software, repair disk permissions * manually installed HP printer drivers v3.0 and added to the queue printer. No change, printing & copying ok, but the scanner does not.

    During approval of the repair disk found a number of problems related to printing and presumably repaired, had more to do with the ' should be 80, group is zero ", but others as well.

    Anyone know what I can do, short of buying a new printer? I realize, it's a dinosaur - always attached via the USB port, but she worked just beautifully before the upgrade.

    I can't get my HP e-all in one 4620 to scan to my computer.  Message from CRO is not connected.  How can I fix it?

    Hey brisinger48,

    I see that you have a problem with your printer with a Scanner error code.  This thread was originally on an Officejet 4620.  Is this the same printer model you have?

    About the error code, this error is normally an indication of a failure of the scanner lamp in the printer.  If you receive this error message, so I recommend following the steps in the document following the link.

    A "Failure of the Scanner" Message appears on the all-in-one control panel and you can not scan, copy, or fax

    If troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, then the question is in the lamp in the scanner hardware.  I would advise calling Technical Support from HP on this printer in this case, if the printer is under warranty.
