OfficeJet HP 5740: HP Officejet 5740 TWAIN problem for scanning

I have a new printer.  It worked fine for the first two weeks.

Now I can print but when I try to scan from an application I get the message

"TWAIN HP HP Officejet 5740 series is not found"

I tried to stop and restart the WIA service, as recommended in some other posts.

The error message I get is

"Error 1061 the service cannot accept control messages at this time."

I also tried the HP scanning tool but it gets stuck (for days) to the point where it will search for the WIA.

Any suggestions on what to try next?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your help.  It seems that I need to restore my operating system to resolve this issue.

Thank you.

  • HP Officejet 4500 desktop: problem of scan for hardware

    Hello.

    I'm having a problem with the Scanner on my device. It worked fine for years until recently. When I run a scan, the scan bar sounds like it is moved to about, as if she was facing too much friction on his way. The resulting quality of the scan is too rough. Here is an example:

    I tried to reset and even reinstalling the driver, but it seems to be a hardware problem. My device is already passed it is guaranteed and I am entirely willing to open if necessary, because I have knowledge in electronics. What can we do?

    Hi @XtheHunter,

    Welcome to the HP forums! Is a great way to engage, ask questions and find resolutions by working with specialists from the community of HP. I saw the post and understand that there are problems of scanning with the printer. I'll be more than happy to help you here.

    First of all, you have diagnosed the problem perfectly that the scan feature does not work. Great job on this point. Kudos to you. It is always a privilege to work with customers technically very. I take it as a privilege to share this platform with you. We value your relationship with HP and want to better serve you.

    First of all, it looks like a hardware problem with the printer. We will isolate the problem correctly.

    Please make some copies directly from the printer without any communication to the computer.

    Place the copy face down on the flat and press the copy button. If the copy is fine, then the question might be software related.

    If there are problems with copy, then try to copy again with a set of different cartridges to further isolate the issue. They copy very well if we could solve the problems for software related issues.

    I'll send you the steps to perform a semi full reset as a private message. Please look for the messages also. Sometimes it is useful to correct the situation.

    If it does not correctly copy, then the printer must be repaired by contacting the HP support by phone. Link: http://hp.com/contacthp

    Please try to copy from the charger bed and document scanner to further isolate the issue.

    If the problem is with the document feeder, then you can still use the scanner flat and vice versa to work around the problem.

    I will send you the links of service manuals for the printer that could be useful.

  • Officejet Pro 8500 problem has scan (new)

    Mac 10.5.8 (Leopard, Snow Leopard no)

    I can't find any interface or driver for scanning, except the screen on the printer.

    Use of the screen, I have the choice of jpg and pdf (also by e-mail, but who do not need).

    Jpg: Gives Me a 200 dpi file that is only a part of 6 "x 4" of the page.

    PDF: Give me the whole page and I can "save under" a tiff file or anything else since Acrobat up to 1200 dpi, but the resolution is certainly not the 4800dpi promised in the specification of this machine. And there is no mention of the color depth.

    Where is the driver!

    I have never had a scanner that didn't come with a driver that could be imported into PhotoShop, offering an interface for different resolutions and cropping.

    Should I remove this printer?

    If so, is there an all-in-one that will scan photos properly?

    By the way, I was on the chat for a long time yesterday, because the yellow cartridge sunk and emptied at the time the implementation has been full. Cat person told me to call phone support today, but one of the service centres is down and the tree of phone hangs up on me.

    This is a very disappointing experience!

    Hello!

    Is that what you have already installed the printer software in your computer?

    If this isn't the case, run the disc that came with the printer and you will see the user interface for scanning.

    For more information, click on the link below.  It is precisely for your printer and the issue.  Good luck!

  • HP officejet 5740: HP officejet 5740 printer problem

    HP officejet 5740 - having problems printing.  Output is white pages with light smear.  However, when I run the diagnostic tests (step 3/level), information will print correctly.  Now, just keep using more and more ink on the different levels of test diagnoses but still cannot print or copy simple documents.  Suggestions?

    Hi Photoray002,

    Thanks for your reply.

    In fact, I found a video online that solved the problem for me.  Faulty ink!  Cartridges showed they were half full, but once I replaced the ink, the problem has been resolved.

    Never had this before so was quite a revelation.  Keep your answer on the record in case something pops up!

  • HP Officejet 5740: Problem with scan after passage of a wireless network to a USB between PC / printer

    Hello

    I would like your advice about my inability to scan from my printer control panel after establishing a connection USB with my PC. Previously, it was established as a wireless printer.

    I get messages like "Scan of the computer is not activated", "connecting to the computer has been lost' & ' The HP scanning Application has encountered an internal error. Pls restart app & try again. "

    There is no problem to use the HP scanning software in my PC for scanning or printing of my mobile device functions.

    I tried different ways to solve problems for example to turn off my printer & restarted, print HP & Scan Doc, restart my PC but nothing is.

    Your advice would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hi @Chrissy_61

    Thanks for your comments.

    If it is connected via the USB port the computer Scan is on the front of your printer default.

    Go to your control panel and select "Scan to.."  your computer should be listed.

    Hope that helps!

  • OfficeJet Pro 6830: Problem with multiple Pages into one file

    I just bought an OfficeJet Pro 6830 problem and have the scanning of several pages in a PDF document.

    I checked and the box advanced settings/file/create a separate file for each page is disabled, but it will not always combine pages.  Registration prompt window upward after finishing first scan.

    Previously I use Desktop 4580 without any problems and the file to automatically create the folder of the current month in Myscan and analysis enable the scan file be save.  It seems that this function was also missing.

    Please advise.  Thank you.

    Hello

    Scan you from the glass flat or the top of the charger page?

    If you use the charger to top of the page, the pages must be taken and analyzed before the scan to finish.

    If you use glass, ensure that the box show the display after scanning is enabled and press scan, click on the button "+" under the preview of scanning to scan the next prior pages by clicking Save.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus - ADF scanning problem

    Hello

    I recently bought this printer and used without problem for almost 2 months. However, right now I am struggling with the ADF.

    When I put a document to scan by ADF, I have a thin, black line on re-impressions. It is on the right side of the page, starts from everything at the top and goes down all the way.

    I have even if it is a kind of alignment line (you know when we write try, or its composition, leave us space on both sides)

    This problem does not exist when I scan and print documents of old school way, aka analysis usual. Only the ADF documents'ed have this problem a little. (The thin black line on things reprinted)

    Any recommendations?

    Best regards

  • HP Officejet Pro 8625: Problem with printer

    I was connected to my printer wireless no problem for more than a month. Last week, we had an outtage of power for about 3 seconds, causing everything in the building to stop, except for my laptop of course. After the printer is back to the top, I tried to print something and it would not let me even if it was connected to the internet and so is my laptop. I restarded just to see if I can plug it back, but nothing won't work so far. When I go in my devices and printers, it says the network is connected, but the status says "Driver is not available." I don't know if it matters, but since then I have used my printer with a usb port. and also, I can print to another printer wireless in the office, but not mine.

    Well, this should solve your problem:

    1. In your search type in printers bar and open devices and printers.
    2. Right click on all the icons in your printer listed.
    3. Click on remove the instrument.
    4. Repeat for all other icons of your printer listed.
    5. Click Add printer, and follow the prompts to add a new queue for your printer.

    Please let me know if this allows you to print. If so, please click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8620: One side scanning instead of both sides

    Whenever we scan with the printer using ADF, ALWAYS scan both sides of the document. We want to scan only ONE side, but we cannot find any setting switching on both sides for only one party to scan. It's very frustrating because whenever we scan, we have the right page and one white. We use Adobe Acrobat and driver scan TWAIN of the model.

    Is it possible to set up the printer we want?

    Best,

    JM

    Hi @keyser2015,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see you try to do a side scan instead of the two sides, with your HP Officejet Pro 8620 on Windows 10. And I'm happy to help you!

    Each scanning program, has their own features. I'm not familiar with the use of Adobe Acrobat, so it is possible the functionality are not available in this particular scanning program. If you need help on the use of Adobe Acrobat, I would say to contact our Support from Adobe, for assistance.

    In the meantime, I suggest try using HP Scan instead and see if the option is available on the main screen to choose scan front side. If you have trouble with the HP scanning program, please try our HP print and Scan Doctor, to see if it can automatically solve the problem for you!

    Hope this information is useful and thanks for posting!

    I have not had any problems using the printer or scanner on the HP Officejet Pro 8500 has more when I had my old laptop to Windows 7. There was some HP software installed from a CD that allowed me to open the HP application and adjust the settings for scans, save multiple scans in a single PDF etc...

    Since switching to a new Mac OSX desktop computer, I can't install it whatever that either the old CD from my Mac has no CD/DVD drive. The only application of HP on my Mac is now HP ePrint, and which does not seem to offer something to scan with.

    The other option that have left me is to connect the Mac to the printer by USB, then choose:

    Scan > computer > iMac > save in Jpeg.

    But I get the following error message:

    "Connection error".

    The connection to the computer is down or HP scanning application cannot detect the OCR software. Check the computer for more details".

    I'm sorry to hear you had problems of scanning your Officejet 8600 to your Mac in OS X 10.10, but I'm absolutely going to do my best to help!

    If you open HP Scan on the computer, you are able to scan from there without problem (please refer to this document scan from OS X with HP full software functionality to see how to open the HP scanning software)? If so, I think you just have to activate the scanning to computer in the HP software. Please take a look at this Re: definition of Scan post and he will inform where to go in the HP utility choose Activate Scan to computer. After that is done, are you able to the printer to the computer?

    If you are UNABLE to analyze through the HP scanning software, the issue could be just communication itself. In this case, try the steps in this document to the printer is not maintaining the wireless connection .
