OfficeJet pro 8500: Officejet 8500 scan of the computer

I try to use the scan to computer option.  The scanner sends me this turn on my computer and I don't have the software and it can not find anywhere...

This site has me fired everwhere and in circles.  The assistance Center has only notified me that I am not under warranty... I know that!  How can I get the software?  That's all I want.../cry

TIA.

  • OfficeJet 5740: officejet 5740 - scan of the computer cannot be activated - cause communication error

    2 weeks ago, I bought a HP officejet 5740 - installed the software and everything worked well. Unfortunately, the printer is dead, and I just got a new.  In order to start to 'clean up', I removed all HP on the Mac software - and then installed the printer. I can print - and scan using progtram analysis. The printer is connect via ethernet.

    This left me with 2 numbers

    (1) for installation, Setup fails when I reached the setting of alerts (communication error - please restart the program) try to configure alerts in HP utility fail - even once to the criticism fail - restart program

    (2) I'm not able to activate the scan of the computer on the Mac.  I get "communication failed" when I try to turn on the feature in HP utillity

    What I tried

    Delete all HP software (several times) and reinstall it again - still the same problem

    I removed the HP software and used the diskutillity to fix the rights - and reinstalled him brand new - still same problem.

    I have reset the printingsystem on the mac - still the same problem

    I still think it's weird - because everything worked great with the first printer I had! -replace it with a similar one caused the problem.  And this isn't the printer - because scan to computer works with my wife PC

    I have run out of ideas - and hopes that someone can solve this problem!

    Thank you for your reply - the problem is now resolved.  It seems that when you run Uninstall HP also something with the printerdrives provided by Apple update. I noticed that version 3.1 was installed on March 2, when I installed the first printer, I bought (the one who broke down) in all my tests, uninstalling and installing the drivers, I have checked apple update, it says no new updates, but last night he said suddenly that there was an update and then it reienstalled the 3.1 drivers HP again - and surpirice the problem has been solved.

    Thank you for your quick response!

  • HP Officejet 6500 - scan of the computer has disappeared on my Win 7 machine and does not exist on my Win 8

    On my Windows 7 machine:

    I used to be able to start "scan my computer" page printer to my control panel, but this feature has been moved (again), perhaps due to an update. Where can I find this feature?

    On my Win 8.1 machine, where can I find a scan of the computer? Currently, I have to use an application of scan user interface modern stupid I have donloaded and installed from other Windows store. I would really like to scan to computer back.

    In fact, I have to pay extra if someone could invent a computer that works the same way on the day the day.  I'm getting a little tired of playing with technology (PCs, iPhones, etc) all suffer a 100% failure rate.

    Hi ou81aswell, welcome to the forums.

    I saw your post about losing your computer option scan. I have some suggestions for you. I can't guarantee a difficulty, however, of course I'll try!

    On your Windows 7 machine and your machine Windows 8.1: run the HP printer install wizard for Windows which will install the appropriate drivers.

    In addition, reset the printer and make sure it is plugged directly into a wall outlet. Avoid power bars, etc.

    Let me know what happens!

    Kind regards

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus stopped Scan of the computer... Said the computer could not be found. Help!

    Hello

    I've been enjoying our HP Officejet Pro 8600 more MFP for a year now.

    Analysis of the it function on our machine no longer works. It indicates that the computer cannot be found. I used this feature all the time in the past.

    I can acquire a scan from an application, like Photoshop and I can scan to a removal storage device, but I can't use the computer Scan, and I really liked this feature!

    A few days ago, our computer has been infected by a virus. A Norton agent could succeed in eliminating it. Do you think this could have disabled the feature computer scanning?

    How can I get the MFP to recognize my computer again? I've looked up and down and impossible to find the solution for this.

    Thanks for any help you can provide!

  • OfficeJet 8600: scan of the computer does not work on mac officejet yosemite 8600

    I tried the fix in the forum for the officejet which will not sweep with yosemite.    I used the driver for 8600 officejet Yosemite.   I restarted the router, computer and printer.  I also struggle with the print function.  Every day, I have to turn off the printer market to find the computer.  I have a macbook pro computer running OS X 10.10.2

    It's very frustrating!  Help, please!  Thank you!!

    Hey there @texasjane!

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    I should be able to provide assistance with the issue between you and your Officejet 8600 scan Mac OS X 10.10. You mentioned that you have already installed the full features of HP Officejet 8600 software but still have no success.  Your also get some printing problems.  The Mac indicates that the printer is offline when you try to print?

    Its possible that an update is available for the Mac on the HP software.  I recommend checking the Mac to make sure it's his print more up-to-date and scan drivers.  To check the updates simply click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen.  Once your in the Apple menu, select App Store.  Within the App Store, you can click updates at the top of the window.  Check and install the HP updates that may be available.

    I suggest try to analyze using one of the construction in Mac as Capture of Image applications.  If there are problems with the HP on Mac 10.10 software then you may be able to bypass them with Image capture.  Image capture may be located in your Applications folder on a Mac.  You can also find it by linking the Image Capture in the Mac spotlight.  Spotlight is the magnifying glass at the top right of the screen.

    If please, after back and let me know how it goes!

  • HP Officejet 7610: Scan of the computer cannot be activated or scan and combine them into a single pdf document.

    I've recently updated to macOS Sierra 10.12 and scanning to HP computer software cannot be located when I open the HP utility.

    I can't find a further recommended HP software for my device other than El captain in operating system online.

    If I try to scan through preferences systems for printers and Scanners I can open the scanner, but I can't create a PDF combining into one document - it cancels the procedure after about 2 pages!

    The scan HP Destinations 'PDF for Adobe Reader' is red 'could not locate the target application that might have removed or uninstalled. File format = "PDF".

    How can I get that back?

    Thank you

    Hi @JOGL,

    Thank you for joining the HP Forums!

    I understand that computer analysis can not be activated as well as the scan and combine them into a single pdf document. With your printer HP Officejet 7610. I am pleased to see that for you!

    At this time for this model. There is no software and drivers for Mac OS X 10.12 again, given that the operating system has just been launched, it could take some time. For the time being, you can try to use HP Easy Scan to see if that can meet your scanning preferences. In otherwise, all we can do is wait for the software and drivers to be released.

    It's what I've tried and I get:

    1. Install the drivers and full software from the CD provided with the product: It appears to turn on the option scan to the computer . But whenever I try to do, a message in the iMac says: could not establish a connection with the printer.
    2. Download the last update on the HP driver support site: He always says that to computer scan cannot be enabled, and that I should download and install the latest driver.
    3. Installation using AirPrint printer: It recognizes the printer and even the fax feature, but never the scanner.

    I don't no what to do, it looks like there is no full support for my 7612 in Yosemite.

    Can anyone help me?, I'm doing something wrong?

    OK, I managed to do this work, that's what I did:

    1. Uninstall the HP driver through the uninstall program that comes with it.
    2. I deleted these two files from the: < youruserhere > /Users//Library/Preferences

  • Activate the Scan of the computer? OfficeJet 6500 a Plus

    Does anyone know how do enable this each time you want to scan? God forbid you try to scan from adobe first... then you need to restart the grid to get everything to work. I wish that they would reveal this shit FIRST before buying a simple all-in-one.

    Hi realjax,

    In this version of the software we tried to give the customer analysis options to manage their activation to the parameters of the computer. The printer was still able to scan from the software. In this way our software was not using the resources of system of clients all the time. In later versions of this software, we took notice of the customer and activated the scanning to computer active during the installation of the printer.

    Activate the connection to scan to the computer

     

    Follow these steps to activate the connection of scanning between the HP product and the computer.
