No support fax or scan for C6180 on Mac OSX 10.5.8

When Mac OSX 10.5.8, we discovered that the HP C6180 printer we use (wired network) only supported print. There is no driver to fax and no support of the Analyzer. The HP software asked to buy us a new printer in order to find these features.

You can imagine our willingness not to buy a new printer when we still works fine. If HP wants us to keep buying cartridges printer HP or never buy another HP printer again then it would be reasonable to expect continuous support of drivers for printers still in the field. (it's not yet all that old...)

Is there a solution or driver updated, please?

Thank you, RG

The note in the system disk refers to drivers integrated into OSX.  Upward through 10.5, they only support print (10.6 print media, scanning and fax).

Try to uninstall using uninstaller in Applications, Hewlett-Packard folder, and then reinstall it from the link I gave you.

If all else fails you could spend $29 and upgrade to Snow Leopard and get back disk space as well!

  • Windows Fax and Scan for Windows Vista does not appear under all programs

    Windows Fax and Scan for Windows Vista does not appear on my computer under all programs - where he might or he is still in charge?

    If you have Vista Home Basic and Vista Home Premium, they do not come with Fax software included.

    You will need software 3rd party Fax:

    Snappy Fax 2000 allows you to send and receive faxes from your computer. You can use your scanner to scan documents and then sent a fax to any fax machine, or use the print command other applications to use the virtual fax printer, allowing you to send faxes directly from most Windows applications. In addition, the program also supports faxes sending via the internet, filtering of unwanted faxes and transfer incoming faxes to other fax or e-mail addresses. Additional features include import address book, faxes by email (with zip for images support), OCR, spell checking and much more.

  • Win 7: still can't find "Fax and Scan for Windows.

    I tried and tried to locate the utility Win 7 embedded 'Fax and Scan for Windows' using the links given to me by your Anshul Arora a few days ago... and still does not activate/download... whatever, this utility application.

    For example:

    1. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows7/products/features/windows-fax-and-scan does not help.

    2 ""scan a doc or a picture with Win Fax and Scan " page says " click on the Start button, click on "all programs, then click on Windows and digitization." "" I don't see an "Windows Fax and Scan" when I do that.

    3. I haven't installed scanning programs and had Win 7 look for a Setup program; can't.

    Offhand, I would say that my version of Win 7 doesn't have this built-in utility!

    How can I set up Windows Fax and Scan to view scanned documents (which record in the document library, where I want to see/open/send as an attachment) such as Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat (PDF) without getting "windings" on the word or the 'not taken care... or damaged file' on Acrobat?

  • Cannot scan HP Photosmart C4780, Mac OSX 10.9.4

    At the same time, I bought my MacBook Pro about 4 years ago and my HP Photosmart C4780. Recently I replaced my hard drive, so I now have the OS of Mac OSX version 10.9.4. I can always print to my RESUME, but I can scan is no longer. If I try to open HP scan, I get an error message. I tried to go to the--> Printers Scanners &--> scan system preferences, and everything seems to sweep but is not save to my computer. I looked at to download the driver, but it does not list my specific operating system... but lists "Mac OSX" which seems ambiguous for me (it lists specific versions up to 10.6). There is no option to download a driver, but there is an option to have a disk sent by post (paying), but I am unclear if this driver works with my version of Mac OS x.

    Are you sure?  Try to save it on your desktop - give it a distinctive name, so you can easily find it.

  • Software for AIO on Mac OSX Mavericks 7210

    Hello

    The software for the new HP Officejet Pro 8600 would be able to manage my old HP Officejet 7210 AIO?

    When I upgreaded to the MAvericks (of Lion), I can still print but scanning now cannot be done through Capture of IMage and is not as rich in features.

    Thank you.

    Hi ISOanswers,

    Welcome to the HP forums!

    You have an Officejet 7210 a 8600 Officejet and 10.9 and are wanting to know if the JO 8600 software allows to manage the 7210 JO? Absolutely I'll do my best to answer this question for you

    Essentially, the answer is no, JO 8600 software can't handle the JO 7210 for nothing because it is not compatible. Printers have been released every few years and use completely different version of the software, this is the main reason, the answer is no.

    Obviously there's no harm in trying though. You can open your HP scanning program and see if it detects your 7210 JO and can scan to it, but if not, you must continue to use the Apple software to analyze. Although the image Capture is not your only option, so if you want to try others, take a look at this how Scan: OS X v10.9 document.

    Hope this helps, have a great weekend!

  • HP ENVY 5660: HP ENVY 5660 scan multiple Pages with Mac OSX?

    Hi-how to scan multiple pages using the HP ENVY 5660 with Mac OS x 10.8? I have updated the software of the scanner, clicked on "open scanner" in the printer, but see no way to scan multiple pages. Also, there is no way to add several pages on the touch screen of the printer.

    I really need to send you something to a potential employer ASAP so would be extremely grateful for any advice.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Don't forget to select PDF as the source file.

    Click Scan to scan the first page, once completed, click the same button to add another page and continue to use the scan button until you are finished.

    The final PDF should include any page scanned in the same session.

    I find either my MEMU for fax and scan for my HP Officejet Pro 8600. This is the menu that allow you to select the type of scan (jpeg, etc.) and whether it's for email, files, etc. I don't know what is happening and I don't want to reinstall the printer.

    Any ideas?

    Hi containerpete and welcome to the forums of HP!

    I see that you are working with a 8600 Officejet who doesn't seem to have the scan/Fax options in the HP printer Assistant longer. I'm sorry to hear that, but I'll certainly do my best to help you!

    You can certainly just add the HP Scan icon on your desktop for the feature analysis on the computer, but if you need Fax options we then focus on the software uninstallation/reinstallation.

    For now, I'll explain how to add the icon HP Scan on your desktop (assuming that you are working with Windows 7) and if you want the instructions to uninstall/reinstall to see to get the other return options that I'll happily provide those in the next post

    To add scanning HP icon on your desktop click the start menu, click programs principally made, click the HP folder, click on the HP Officejet Pro 8600 folder and then right-click on HP Scan, click send to and select Desktop. Now you have a HP Scan icon on your desktop and actually save you a click or two

    Let me know how it goes, and if you want that the other instructions!

  • change the com port assigned to the fax and scan

    I used fax and scanning for once.  I had to move my external modem to a different port.

    I don't know how to change the windows fax and scan com port manually.

    the wizard does NOT start, I guess because the fax is installed and worked until I had to change the number of COM port...  I need to change the number of pot with hundreds of research, it seems that no one knows how to change manually the Compote in windows fax and scan, unless they use the wizard.

    my assistant does not start. I guess I'm 'old school' I don't need an Assistant, I need to manually change the fax uses com port.

    :-), it's frustrating because help said only: click "fax" in the lower left corner, and they all assume the installation wizard starts and everything will be fine. :-(

    the wizard does not start. :-(

    I am desperate to get my fax work and need to know how to set the correct port number in a system that is installed and running, such as the wizard never starts.

    for anyone who goes out at the end of questions and ideas, I have a fax application stand alone who is working with the new port setting. It's just not a good app for my needs

    Please?

    Thank you

    Post proposed by the moderator of the appropriate forum category

    Hi John,.

    You can follow the steps below to change the COM port for a modem:

    1. search the Device Manager.

    2 look for the Modem device, right-click on it, and then click Properties.

    • If the change settings button is present, you must click on it to make changes to the appliance. If the user account control dialog box appears, confirm that the displayed action corresponds to what you want, and then click continue.
    • If the change settings button is not present, the modem does not support the ability to change the modem settings. Refer to the documentation provided by the vendor of your modem.

    3. on the Advanced tab, click Advanced port settings.

    • If this option is not displayed, the modem does not support the ability to change the assigned COM port. Refer to the documentation provided by the vendor of your modem.

    If the same persists, we suggest that you post your query in Microsoft TechNet so that their support team will provide you in-depth assistance.

    Kind regards.

  • Why is scanning is no longer supported on the mountain for CM1312 Lion?

    HP again shows that it cares about its customers.

    Choose to not support scanning for CM1312 and many other printers under Mountain Lion (10.8) is an example of terrible business practice. I will never buy an HP product again.

    And, no, VueScan (which costs $ 50!) is not a viable option.

    To goodbye HP. Never again.

    Hello

    Although it is no longer officially supported, install the v10.7 software usually works as a workaround for my experience.

    You try to install the latest version of the software 10.7 below:

    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=3558902&prodNameId=3558903&swEnvOID=219&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=t2-100706-1

    Once launch setup of the file right click (or CTRL + left click) the HP installation program, then select open (which will bypass Geatekeeper software is not signed to 10.8).

    Once having completed the installation try using scanning HP within Applications-file MFP HP Laserjet.

    Hope that helps,

  • Windows Fax and Scan - what the appropriate use for the concurrent users to save to the network program?

    I'll try to keep this simple - as I already asked this on other forums without the answer. My environment - Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 32-bit client machines. A computer needs to scan patient documents to a network shared by a group of users folder. There will be many people who use this computer even through all day (several shifts - environment 24 hours/7 days).  This is why I need multiple profiles from windows to all save the scan to the SAME network location.

    Currently I am trying to achieve with Windows Fax and Scan and using the ' Scan 'option under 'tools' routing. "  There is a check box (once in this option) for "network location".  I am using this option, but its does not work and that's the whole problem. Its supposed to AUTOMATICALLY record each scan to the specified network location, but it does no such thing. The scan is not registered at all in fact it is just in the interface user of Windows Fax and Scan... double you click it, and then it shows you the image.

    Some information note for helping people answer this question (and any help is appreciated):

    (1) * YES * the network folder, I am trying to record is a valid network folder and * IS * accessible via my network of different devices

    (2) * YES * the user of this journal on the computer with the scanner * ALL * read/write to have rights to this location of the network folder

    (3) * file YES and printing sharing is already active on clients

    If you please if someone either knows how to solve this problem, or at this stage if you can even suggest a different (cheaper the better) application that will scan to a network location please let me know.

    One might think to a disabled feature labeled as "scan routing" and then a field for "network location", it would be simple as plugging in the network folder and checking a box - apparently it isn't.

    Thank you.
