OfficeJet 6600: Office jet 6600 "Scanner failure" error

I have a relatively new (9 mos old) Officejet 6600. When I turned on it today I got this error "failure of the Scanner: unable to scan, copy or send a fax."
It is not connected to a computer or network, and is used only for the copy and fax.
Help! It is in my office and we copy ASAP!

Hi @wwah,

Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

I understand that you receive an error message on the screen of your 6600 HP Office jet printer. I'd be happy to help you with this.

Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

Here is a document that I recommend that you try, products HP all-in-one - a 'Scanner failure' Message is displayed on the all-in-one control panel and you can not scan, copy or fax.

This paper addresses issues in which a "Failure of Scanner" message displayed on the printer control panel. If a different error message is present, follow the steps in the section "Some a software problem or connection when you try to scan?" to find a document that answers to your problem.

  • OfficeJet 4500: office jet 4500 pages come out blank

    I have a hp Office Jet 4500.  Lately when I print only blank pages come out.  It is still ink in the black cartridge, so I cleaned it according to the instructions from hp (printer only in manual mode). I still get blank pages.  I guess I have to buy a new ink cartridge, because sometimes they dry out before they are empty, but now I'm not sure that's the problem.

    This may seem a stupid question, (I don't know the correct names for parties), but is the bar with light, supposed to go under the glass when she prints?  I lifted the hood to see what was wrong and I noticed it wasn't moving, even if the light was on.  I never paid attention to the printer while it was working properly.  I would like to know whether to fix it before I have to waste money on an ink cartridge.  I know that the digital display informs you if there is a power outage, but it didn't.  Otherwise, the printer goes through its motions normally.

    Hello @epona1 , welcome to the Forums of HP!

    I read your post on how your Officejet 4500 is print is no longer with the ink to print outs. I want to help you!

    The bar with light I think you describe looks like this mechanism to scan, which does not move when you make prints, so I don't see that the question. The question seems sound, as for me, would be the printhead to the printer. I say this because you have tried to change ink already and the pages are always feel empty, when normally change the cartridge would help and fix this type of problem.

    Having said that, I suggest that try you this guide and try the steps it will list. It may possibly fix the problem of blank page for you. If not and the problem does not go away, call us directly to discuss your printing with HP options.

  • OfficeJet 6600: Paper mismatch error

    Hello
    Will be a mistake of the incompatibility of weird paper on this new computer. Initially, printed but on a slight angle, now it does print none with regular paper mismatch error. The book is on letter and page of the letter, is not sure what is happening.

    Seen on a post of support for the same problems with a 6500 a download a firmware update - but once I try to install, it is said that the program is completely updated... which does not help. I clicked to repair the program in the region to add / remove programs, but no change. Would not have to uninstall and reinstall the printer, but probably it is the best next step for me for me.

    But... I saw someone here say they have been PM'ing some people with a similar problem, some kind of reset the option for this obviously common problem... don't know why reset options aren't just posted on the forum as well. Also tried is installing the latest version of the HP Support Assistant... but it just sits there, appearing there download but nothing happens and it never seems to fill.

    I hope we can understand this... endless with the 6600 lately.

    Thanks in advance!

    Grandson did a uninstall and reinstall, we did things with the printer. It reprinted tortuous though, even after all the updates, firmware and drivers have been updated the link to the driver.

  • HP Officejet 6600 print head error message

    Recently had an electrical storm and power neighbor hood was off briefly. Though even my printer is plugged into a surge protecter, I now have an error message on my printer that reads...

    "Missing or faulty print head".

    ceyan, magenta, yellow, black

    the print head seems to be mjssing, not detected, incorrectly installed, or incompatible"

    Before the storm, I had installed 2 new ink cartridges. My troubleshooting efforts consisted of unplug the printer from the power source and plug back and removing ink cartridges / resettlement. I always get the error message "printhead".

    Hello

    I think you did everything I would have tried.

    Even if unplug you the printer, I wonder did you leave it unplugged for more than 15 seconds.  See the link

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03750651

    If this does not resolve the problem then I think it would be appropriate contact HP because this printer is probably still under warranty.

    Hope this helps somehow.

    I have used this printer wireless and flawless for two years. It servived update don't Win 8.1 to 10 no problem two months ago. All of a sudden, today the subject of error message occurs when you print from OneNote. I rebooted, tried disabling firewall, even removed the ink cartridges and the printer restared and no luck.

    Well, I went out and bought a USB cable this morning. I have attached the printer via the USB port and it worked with Notepad and OneNote. Then I disconnected the cable, and the printer now works perfectly wireless as it done before the problem started yesterday. I read somewhere that USB connection can temporarily solve WiFi problems.

    I'll keep the cable, in case this happens again.

    I appreciate your responsiveness and click "Thumbs Up!" for this. But I can't click 'Accept as Solution' because the USB cable thing was the solution.

    I wish software HP could find what was wrong.

    Thank you for your responsiveness!

  • OfficeJet 4654: office jet 4654

    I'm at College, and here, the wifi does not work with wireless printers. When I bought this printer (officejet 4654), I was led to believe that there was a way to use a wired connection. I have the printer connected to the internet thinger in the wall, but his does not work. I followed the instructions that came with it and it won't work. I had this printer set up home wireless, but now that I've moved, it does not work. Is there a way I can connect it directly to my computer via USB? Or am I completely missed something important?

    Hello

    Yes, you can use USB because it supports the USB connection:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-OfficeJet-4650-all-in-one-printer-series/5447930/model/8900987/document/c04704159/

    The USB port is in the back, next to the power connection port.   I think you need a USB cable because no cable in the box and you must run HP Easy Start to implement:

    My printer just to show that "there is a problem with the print head" and he cites the code: Oxc19a0035.

    As in the HP troubleshooting help I removed the cartridges, made sure that they are clean (dry) and checked the vents - at the top of the HP logo but atill the problem persists.   They are genuine HP cartridges (purchased from HP) and aside from cyan are very new but have been working correctly so far.   Can any one help alone, please?  Thank you.

    Thank you for your interest.  I return to the PC world with the printer who accepted, after review, they must give me a replacement printer.   Problem solved.  Thanks again.

    Problem of printer Office jet HP 6600 with image scanning to e-mail - error review Monte is finished, it goes to Foxit PDF to e-mail, but it does not send.  I use a laptop Asus with Windows 7.  Thank you

    Hi premid1,

    I want to help you to scan to email with your Officejet 6600. Are you able to scan the computer rather than the scanning to e-mail? I would like to see if we can reach the scan of your email and send it like that. This will help determine if the problem is in the scan file itself, or the scanning to E-mail process. I can't help but wonder if the analysis file is maybe great to email. Description you looks like you have the scan in the email, but cannot send it.

    Please let me know if you can then send via e-mail after the have set from the computer, as opposed to scan directly to e-mail.

    Hello Sharon,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    I would be grateful if you could answer the following questions:

    How the computers are connected? If they are connected as a workgroup or domain?

    Method 1: Disable the security software and check if the printer works.

    Warning: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: You can turn off the Windows Firewall and see if you can print.

    1. Press the Windows key +X key.
    2. Select Control Panel.
    3. Click on the firewallof Windows .
    4. Select enable the Windows Firewall On or off on the right next to the sign.
    5. Select the radio buttons Turn off firewall under Private and Public network settings

    Warning: after reviewing the issue, turn on the firewall.

    Method 3: Refer to the suggestions for the following links.

  • OfficeJet 6600: Failure of printer, no error code

    Down printer, no code error.  Tried troubleshooting tips; Reset no has not worked and cleaning of copper on the ink cartridges, not working anymore.   Printer 3 years so out of warranty.   This printer is in a holiday home and I remove the cartridges in the winter.  Is this a problem?  Is there anything else to try, or do I need a new printer?  Tried to submit the form to contact HP 3 times for nothing helped... the site could use improvement.

    Remove the cartridges to store the printer for the winter is a major problem - which cause the printhead not replaceable to dry out, leaving probably clogged ink residues.  In the future if you have a printer with separate ink supply and print (like the Officejet 6600) heads the cartrdiges never be removed from the printer for more than thirty minutes at a time, and the printer should never be put off with the cartridges removed.

    The following may help recover the printhead (maybe 10% chance).  Turn on the printer, remove the cartrdiges impression and drip hot water on the screens on the print head which would connect the ink cartridges.  I put about 3 to 5 drops in each screen.  Let it sit for a few minutes, then replace the ink cartridges.  Run three cleaning cycles in quick succession the façade or the Toolbox.  Is there an ink at all on the page?  If yes let the printer sit overnight, then repeat the process.
