OfficeJet 7500 a: inaccessible Scanner

My HP printer/scanner/copier Officejet 7500 a can not be detected by my Windows 7 desktop PC - but ONLY the scanner.

Message that displayed when I try to scan:

[Inaccessible scanner

[Scanner communication cannot be established. If make sure that your product is powered, check the connection and make sure that your network is working properly. If these conditions are correct, restart the product and try to scan the image.
If you have installed this printer by IP address, you may need to update the IP address. Use the IP address update for this printer start menu entry.
If you are running a software firewall, it can block scan communication. Please visit www.hp.com/go/wirelessprinting for help to configure your firewall.]

I do NOT use wireless scanning. I have NOT installed the printer/scanner by IP address. The printer/scanner is connected directly to my PC via a USB cable.

Copy works fine; printing most of the time but sometimes the PC sends a print job that prints ever (and no error message). I have to unplug the power cord and plug it in again, which resets the printer and then the job will print if I return it. (I leave the printer on all the time so I don't have to turn on my PC, if all I need is the copier function).

I do not use the scanner very often, but I have had this printer for 4 years, and the scanner has always worked in the past.

When I got the Windows message "Inaccessible Scanner", I tried to unplug the power cord and in reconnecting it back, but the scanner was still "inaccessible". I also tried unplugging the USB cable and plug again, but still not to scan. I also tried to plug the USB cable into a different USB port on my PC, but not scan. I tried to reinstall the scanner, but Windows does not display the scanner as a device.

Is there anything else I can try to solve the problem of 'inaccessible Scanner?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi, greenturtle:

Thanks for your reply. I solved the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling the full features software - and that solved the problem!

  • OfficeJet 7500: HP L7500 Scanner not recognized after last update Win 10

    I have this same problem on all my PC from the most recent Win 10 update 3 March 2016.  All the pc to connect to the printer via a wireless connection with the printer connected to the router using one if the router is NIC ports.  Just to be clear, I just downloaded the latest drivers that you show here for this printer.  If I use the drivers them or earlier, I can't the PARSER must be recognized.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers more recent and even tried the original CD (which are Vista drivers).  All to nothing does not.  When I try to scan I get this msg on the screen: "the analysis cannot because another program or computer using the networked HP imaging device.  Try again later. "The error information extened is:"8 (0.18,-2147467259)"[whatever that means]!.

    I also tried physician Scan (latest version).  He concludes by saying: he can not solve the problem.  I did the food printer disonnect, etc. in full agreement with the instructions here.  The PRINTER works fine and it appears in the network installation.  It's the Scanner is not working.  And it worked until the most recent upgrade to win 10.

    I use Kaspersky Antivirus and it is ON and operational during the installation.  What can we do to get the scanner to work? integrated application of win 10 Scan Lele reports that it cannot find the scanner, so it's help.  Until this last Win 10 update, method also used to work.

  • OfficeJet 7500 has E910: error scanner E910 Win7 Officejet 7500 has "not detected any computer" & Doc printer/Scanner has no help

    I just moved my printer/copier/scanner/fax, E910 Officejet 7500 has on one side of my office to another.  In the process the power and USB cables have been disconnected.  Same USB cable as before, connected to the same port on the computer.<3 meters="">

    Re-installed software CD.   Downloaded updates.  Several files in the HP folder are displayed with today's date, so clearly that something happened with the update.

    Printer is now recognized and will display the files on the computer.

    Photocopier creates copies.

    ... Scanner not scan.

    When a document is placed in the tray sheet or on the glass, "no computer detected" error message is displayed on the HP device.  [Note: this computer can send commands successfully, if clear communication goes]

    On the computer, when the devices are searched and displayed, the HP device appears with any other printers/Fax.  Scanner is not mentioned here - but when the details are drilled for, said that it's in the category 'printers, scanners '.

    Googling suggested tool print and scan doctor, so I went to that and downloaded.  When you click on it to run it, it says that (paraphrase) some files are missing, wants to download them (value 121 mB). So, I click Yes or then, or whatever, and it brings them.  Notice I just do a full install and updates downloaded, that more can he want?

    Then, nothing happens.  Help HP screens suggest that he must now ask me what function I want help or ink on.  Nothing, no suggestions with little green checkmarks or advice of the error.

    So I went down there is text on what to try.  Some apply - after that the doctor Download 4 or 5 times and do the suggested software download it 4 or 5 times, somehow unnecessary.  Disconnect and reconnect the USB cord - done that, at least the print function does not disappear, but the scan did not return.  Restarted the computer and printer HP - has done that, no difference.

    This is not the first time that the scanner was not updated on the computer at the other end of the cable.  In the past and it has been a while, memory, is this activation of the analysis of the computer set the scan to life function, but I do not see this option.  The computer "HP Scan" displays an error message that the HP Officejet 7500 E910 was not found, as does the Windows Fax & Scan.

    Why, if the printer can be found, and it is in the same unit as the Scanner, the scanner will not appear?

    Telephone support HP identified the problem: no drivers.  Took about 15 minutes for a useful person straightening things.

    Note that I had uninstalled the printer and its software before re - load the software.

    As part of this process, I had identified with HP via different input strings the OS of the computer and the details of the all-in-one device model number.  So why couldn't HP identify the drivers concerned and ask them to download also?

    Anyway, for now, what I need is working.

  • OfficeJet 7500 7500: a a Driver Confusion

    I can not all the functions of my Officejet 7500 has hade work. If I install the drivers from the disc that came with the printer, the printer works but the scanner app is not installed. If I download the newest driver on the website of H - p, the scanner app installs and works properly, but the printer does print not (printing just sitting in the gueue).

    What I am doing wrong?

    Carl Neste

    Solved the problem myself. Original drivers installed, let HP Support Assistant installation updated, select "test scanner", how the application scan appeared. But there was still no icon for it on the desktop. Choose 'Properties', that display the path to the .exe file. Went there and select "create shortcut", and... He was the icon.

    It all started when I installed a drive root more and reinstalled WIN7 and all my applications and drivers from scratch. I say this because when I bought this printer and installed the drivers, the scanner icon is created automatically. Apparently the updated driver does not.

    Hello

    What happens when you scan from the HP or Capture of Image scanning software, you see similar problems?

    In the affirmative, please let me know because it wil require to solve any problem of connectivity to the printer.

    If everything works with software such as HP can happen due to any problem with VueScan, such I would say contacting VueScan at torubleshoot because they are more familiar with their product.

    Hi @adiedrichsen,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see that you are looking for a driver for your printer HP Officejet 7500 a E910a on Mac OS X 10.10, and I'm happy to take a look for you!

    There is no full feature software and drivers available directly from HP on this printer and operating system.

    However, there is a driver by Apple which gives basic printing and scanning capabilities, you can download this driver by accessing this Web site, HP v3.1 for OS X printer drivers.

    Scanning without HP software, please see this post, Re: iMac OS X 10.9.3 Scan for iMac driver for HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 a A910a does not appear to be, by my colleague @Sunshyn2005. That applies to your printer and your operating system, as well.

  • HP officejet 7500 E910: unable to connect my HP printer to laptop

    I can't get my laptop (Toshiba Satellite) to connect with my printer HP, (Officejet 7500 E910). This printer was working with this computer until I experienced connection problems. Thought it was my router and replaced by the new router, (BelkinAC1750 DB). Router works fine with the laptop and another, (which has Windows 8.1). I can't connect either wired or wireless for printer or PC. I rebooted to update software that is recommended with this printer that is listed as compatible with windows 10 twice. When I run the HP software to solve problems, it shows the installation is successful, but I get a file error when I try to print.  I tried to reconnect several times to the network, but I think that the IP address on the printer set up display is wrong, but I don't know how to check this. The HP software troubleshooting help gives this as a problem, (the IP address is incorrect or a wireless network).  I disable firewall and antivirus with no result. I read all the suggestions I can find without success. I would like to reset the printer to the original configuration, but I can't find the method to do it. I think the problem is with the printer. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I discovered how to reset my default settings for the touch screen of the printer. It's under the 'Tools' menu, I didn't just not scrolled to the bottom. I have reset to the factory settings and then you had to use the HP printer Assistant, but I connected the printer to the network successfully with the correct IP, 192.168.2.171. The two PC is now no trouble-free printing. I don't know how I got into this mess, but I know that it is with your help that I managed to find a solution. Thank you for your time and your efforts. You saved me time and money.
